Phyllis Ann (Childers) Stanley, 80, went to be with our Lord and Savior on April 23.
She was born April 18, 1935, in Coweta, Okla., and as an infant moved to Cheyenne, where she lived for most of her life.
She enjoyed spending time in the mountains, fishing, hunting, reading, cooking and sharing her love for the Lord.
She married Wayne R. Stanley on Dec. 22, 1969. She was a beloved wife, cherished mother and loving grandmother.
She is survived by her husband, Wayne Stanley; five children, Billy Don Frazier (Laida) of Texas, Danny Frazier (Charlene) of Cheyenne, Lori Wallace (Sky Saylor) of Cheyenne and Luke Wilcox (Brenda) of Cheyenne; and stepdaughter, Debbie Wainwight (Jack) of Florida.
She is additionally survived by her siblings, Sue Allen (Billy) of Cheyenne and Jon Ware (Yvonne) of Carpenter; and nine grandchildren, Michele Mortiz (Robert), Lucas Kidd, Myron Stanley (Stephanie), Michael Wallace (Samantha), Tyra Stanley, Calvin Miller, Jennifer Ballard (Jake), Shane Wilcox and Nicholas Frazier.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Horace and Gladys Ware; two brothers, Bill Ware and Don Childers; her birth father, Truman Ven Childers; and stepdaughter, Glenda Jean Miller.
She was a hero to us all. She could make us laugh even in the most difficult of times, was an exceptional example of faith and courage, and will be missed more than words could ever describe.
Graveside services will be at 2 p.m. Monday at Cheyenne Memorial Gardens.
