Gloria Yvonne Cohee

Gloria Yvonne Cohee passed away peacefully March 6,2025, at Central Wyoming Hospice, surrounded by her daughters.

Yvonne was born in rural Missouri to John McDaniel and Hazel McGuire on April 17, 1942. She was raised and educated in Casper and graduated from Natrona County High School in 1960. She was introduced to Gary Cohee, by his mother, and the two married in 1961. They were married 59 years, until Gary’s passing.

Since her beloved Gary served his country as a United States Marine, Yvonne spent most the early years of marriage raising their three daughters. Once all were in school, Yvonne began her work outside the home. In 1972, she began working at Kmart, where she worked until her retirement in 2001. Yvonne wasn’t one to sit still in retirement. She decided to go back to work and worked at Macy’s for many years later. This helped perpetuate her favorite hobby, shopping, while passing her time as Gary spent countless hours serving the veterans organizations in the community.

Yvonne was known by many for her sharp tongue, quick temper, and dry sense of humor. She had a work ethic second to none and instilled that into each of her daughters.

Yvonne was preceded in death by her husband, Gary, and their infant, Deanne. She is survived by her daughters: Lynn Cohee of Casper; Kris Hedges of Indio, CA; and Kelly Wrasper of Sioux Falls, SD. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Michael Hedges, Kent Hedges, Mitchell Wrasper, and Katherine Wrasper; and one great-grandchild, Hudson Wrasper.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to Central Wyoming Hospice.

Services will be held on April 14, 2025, at 3:00pm at the Oregon Trail Veterans Cemetery.
