Sarah Kuhn, age 87 of Casper, Wyoming, passed away January 11, 2017 at the Wyoming Medical Center. Sarah was born in Atchison, Kansas on September 7, 1929 to Lonnie and Dora Childs. She attended schools in Atchison, Kansas and graduated high school in 1947. She married Allen Kuhn, her high school sweetheart, in November of 1949. They spent that summer on a fire lookout in Oregon.
In 1950, they moved to Casper, WY where they put down their roots. She was a dental assistant in Atchison, KS and for Dr. Germon in Casper in her early years. In 1967 she went to work as a pharmacy technician at Town & Country Pharmacy. From there, she worked for the Blue Envelope Strep throat lab until they closed their doors. After that she worked at the pharmacy at Memorial Hospital (now Wyoming Medical Center). Finally, she went to work at Clinical Arts Pharmacy until they closed their doors and she decided to retire. After retirement she stayed busy delivering meals for Meals on Wheels for 15 years.
Sarah was a gentle soul. She was shy, but very sweet and loving. She loved her Frappuccino and Crustable in the morning without fail. She loved the Wyoming Cowboys and never missed a game whether it be in person, watching them on television or listening on the radio.
After her husband's death in 1995, she met her constant companion, Bill Jensen. They had a long and meaningful partnership until her death.
Sarah is survived by her son Gary Kuhn and his wife Clara, daughter Mary Lowndes and her husband Rick. She is also survived by her three grandchildren, Michele Jahner (Gillette), Jenifer Pirtz (Gillette) and Samantha Smith (Colorado Springs), along with four great grandchildren, Dylan, Kai, Bo and Sonny. She is also survived by her grand dog, Roscoe, who can't quite understand her absence.
Sarah will be missed by all that knew her.
Donations in her name to Meals on Wheels or the American Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
