Charles "Wayne" Mangus
Feb. 27, 1934 – March 11, 2006
Charles "Wayne" Mangus died after a long hard battle with emphysema on Saturday, March 11, 2006. Despite his struggles at the end of his battle he managed to hang on for his 72nd birthday and his 53rd wedding anniversary with his beloved wife, Donna Mae.
Wayne was born in Lovell on February 27, 1934, to Charles (Chon) and Violet Mangus. He married Donna Mae Laddusaw on February 28, 1953, in Powell, and of this union came four children: daughters Pam Tresler (Lee), their children Jennifer, Jeremy and Jana of Kalispell, Mont.; Peggy, her sons Matthew, Chance, Justin and Cody of Cody; Suzie, her children Jessica and Kip of Cody; and son, Thomas Rodney Mangus of Ralston.
Wayne was an aspiring artist and painting was his passion. He finished a series of three paintings of the Old Faithful area before he passed and was extremely proud. Painting kept him going and with each vision came another painting that he needed to share with the rest of us. Wayne had a wonderful sense of humor, a big heart and had a way of making everyone feel like family. Although he is no longer with us physically, he will live on in each of us and in every one of his beautiful paintings.
Wayne and Donna lived all over Park County, but spent most of their time in Farmington, N.M., before returning to Ralston in 1996. Wayne had an extensive list of jobs and accomplishments, but among those his most charitable were: co-founder of Chemical Dependency Center in Cody in 1971 and co-founder of Park County Credit Union. He was a dedicated employee of Marathon Oil Company and El Paso Natural Gas.
Wayne is survived by his brothers, Bert (Evelyn) Mangus of Billings, Mont. and Jay (Peggy) Mangus of Worland; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father; his sister, Peggy Havig; and a niece, Diane Havig.

(May 5, 1919 - Oct. 5, 2011)
Zona Elizabeth Hopkin Roper died Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011. She was 92.
Zona died at the Powell Valley Care Center, where she resided for the past few years. She will be remembered as a wonderful wife, loving mother, extraordinary grandmother and friend to many. Her kindness, humor and devotion to her religion have been admired and will be missed.
Zona was born in Penrose on May 5, 1919. The fourth child of Frederick and Elizabeth Wilson Hopkin, she attended grade school in Penrose and went to Powell schools after the schools consolidated, graduating in 1936.
In 1937 she attended BYU until March of 1940. She enjoyed her classes at BYU, especially English and Literature — studying to be a teacher. During this time she consented to go on a blind date with a handsome gentleman from Oak City, Utah, and that date changed her fate forever.
She married Thurman W. (Sam) Roper on June 21, 1940 in Oak City, Utah. They began their married life in a one room section house in Jericho, Utah, where Sam worked for the railroad.
Their first child, Donna, was born in Oak City. While expecting their second child, they moved to Powell to work on the Hopkin Farm. Sam and Zona and three daughters eventually moved to the Powell North End.
Zona had the heart of a true farm girl, so it was not surprising that there were milk cows, chickens and sheep and the like to provide for their growing family. Zona sold the cream from Sam’s milk cows for extra spending money. There was always a large garden and canning to be done at the time of harvest.
Sam worked for Garland Light and Power while Zona stayed at home and took care of the needs of their family. The family consisted of seven girls until finally, in 1959, they broke the mold and had their first and only son, Bert. Two more girls followed and the family was a dozen strong. Eventually expanding even more with sons-in-law and grandchildren and more the family remained tight knit with Zona being the hub that made the family wheel connected.
Zona was dedicated and served in several capacities for her church. Sam and Zona were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 11, 1966. They also shared a commitment with other Powell parents of disabled children and helped form the Powell Chapter of the Wyoming ARC.
Once the family grew more independent, Zona went to work at the Powell nursing home. She enjoyed her years of employment and was a compassionate caregiver and coworker. When it was time for retirement, Sam and Zona were fortunate to travel to Lake Havasu City, Ariz., with friends and Gore, Okla., where they spent time with daughter, Libby. They were also able to follow many of their grandchildren’s events.
Special times for the couple were spent square-dancing where they made many more friends and were able to share this pleasure with daughters and sons-in-law, Diane and John Spomer and Dorthy and Jack Edmonds.
It came as heartbreak for Zona to lose her partner of 54 years on Jan. 14, 1995. But true to her character, she learned to adapt and continue to live life. Sad to leave her farm life, she knew it would be best for her to move into town. She spent the rest of her days happily traveling, visiting with family and friends and ultimately awaiting her time to join her beloved Sam.
She is survived by daughters: Donna Gimmeson, Diane Spomer (John), Dorthy Edmonds, Zona Gale Kraus (Irvin), Elizabeth Cook, Mary Johnson (Kyle), Rhonda Roper, Shelly Harvey (Fred), Christie Barron (David) and son Bert Roper (Tina); 25 grandchildren; 43 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Burchell Hopkin (Ruby); sister-in-law, Alyce Hopkin and numerous nieces and nephews and their families.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Thurman W. (Sam); infant twin granddaughters; son-in-law Jack Edmonds; granddaughter Kelly Barron; her parents Fred and Elizabeth Hopkin; brothers Fred Hopkin and Harold Hopkin; sisters Fay Smith and Mary Simian.
Viewing will be at 9 a.m., with funeral services at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the Avenue E Church of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Burial will be at Penrose Cemetery.

Buried WednesdayInjuries dealt to J. R. Cunningham, oldtimer of the Penrose neighborhood, by the clawing and biting of an enraged mule caused his death five days later at the Lovell hospital last week. He was buried in the Penrose cemetery Wednesday afternoon beside the grave of his wife Sarah.
Cunningham was a well - known rancher and pioneer of the Shoshone valley. The injuries causing his death at the age of 64 years were dealt him in a most extraordinary manner. He was bringing his team of mules in from the field last Thursday evening, following an afternoon of hay cutting. He leaned over to hobble the mules to turn them out to pasture for the night. It is believed that some strange dog must have come along at about that time to anger the mules. Although it is not known just what occurred, it is reasoned by neighbors that one of the mules must have become so angered as to continue the attack upon Cunningham. He had been working this team of mules on his place for the past fifteen years. They were not particularly vicious, just tempermental and were angered by dogs coming about. One of the mules in partciular had frequently tried to stomp at dogs. It is believed that Cunningham was at this time knocked down and tramped upon by the angered mule, which continued to attack him with vicious biting. Cunningham was in bad shape when he made his way to neighbors and told them about the accident, but he continued to do the evening chores before finally gving up to his injuries. He was finally taken to the Lovell hospital, where he died Tuesday evening, September 24th.
He homesteaded his 160 - acre ranch at Penrose thirty years ago. It was about that time that he married Sarah Moody. Two sons were born to them, Ethen and Buster, now employed in a tannery at Sheboygan, Michigan.
James Robert Cunningham, a native of New Mexico, is an oldtimer of the Big Horn basin in Wyoming. He come to northwestern Wyoming when 17 years of age, riding the range as a cow-puncher in the Meeteetse country and in other localities.
