December 26, 1929 — May 24, 2014
Longtime Sharon Springs, Kansas resident Gloria Belle Woodmancy, 84, died Saturday, May 24, 2014, at her home.
She was born December 26, 1929, at Holyoke, Colorado, the daughter of Iva Mary (Critchlow) and Ray E. Crosby. She graduated from Holyoke High School with the class of 1947 and then furthered her education at Colorado University in Boulder, Colorado.
On April 5, 1948, she and Wayne H. Woodmancy were married and they made their home on the Crosby farm in Phillips County, Colorado, until 1959, when they moved to Sharon Springs, Kansas.
