Donald Clark Lacy, age 86, of Cheyenne died April 11, 2024 at Davis Hospice Center in Cheyenne.
He was born June 4, 1937, in Torrington, Wyoming, to Roy Lowell and Anna Elizabeth (Bess Lathrop) Lacy.
Mr. Lacy attended elementary and secondary public schools in Lander, Wyoming, graduating from Fremont County Vocational High School in 1955. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of Wyoming in 1959, and a Master of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of Kansas in 1964.
Mr. Lacy married M. Carol Weidensaul on June 10, 1961, in Lawrence, Kansas, and three daughters were born from that union. Clark and Carol were divorced in May 1984. On December 7, 2006, Clark married Lajuana June (Johnston) Eckard in Cheyenne.
Mr. Lacy first taught social science at Big Piney (Wyoming) High School, and later taught both social and behavioral sciences at Cheyenne County High School in Saint Francis, Kansas.

(Editorial note: Clark’s family members often witnessed or heard from his former students that he was well-loved as a teacher throughout his career, and that made us very happy).

Carolyn Myers: 1950 – 2024
Carolyn Sue Myers, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed away April 12, 2024 surrounded by family and friends at the age of 73. She was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She had a love for, and collected, elephants. These majestic creatures were a reminder and represented qualities she wished to cultivate within herself – strength, wisdom, loyalty, patience, and kindness. She was creative and loved crafting. She loved to watch YouTube videos and taught herself new skills. That creativity extended to her house. She often said she had champagne tastes on a beer budget. She would use her crafting skills to make her house a palace. She had a larger-than-life personality and was always the life of the party. As she came screeching and sliding in at the end of her life she decided to be baptized…..just in case.
Carolyn was preceded in life by her parents, James William and Ruby Geraldine (Nelson) Myers. She is survived by her siblings: Kathleen Myers, Jamie Dean, James Myers, II, John Myers, Julie Drum (Tommy) and Michael Myers.
