Abby was the first born to her parents Bonnie and Arthur Scheer, at her grandparents homestead east of Jay Em, Wyoming on January 19, 1931. She grew up on the family ranch located in the Jay Em/Prairie Center area where she helped work the ranch and helped her parents with their cattle hauling business. She attended first to tenth grades at Prairie Center School and completed her high school education at Torrington High School when she graduated with the class of 1948. When Abby embarked on her adult life, she lived what would be to many chapters in a long life. Her adventurous spirit and love for travel (particularly road trips) provided the opportunity for her to live in several towns/cities and communities in the states of Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, California, and Colorado, most often following her heart and employment. As she always lovingly called Wyoming "home" she returned often. Her occupations consisted of secretarial and mostly bookkeeping positions for companies in the electric and oil/gas industries. She was most passionate about her last occupation as an over the road truck driver until her retirement. Abby enjoyed good food and had a special fondness for cotton candy, ice cream and chocolate. Her joy in life came from spending time and sharing life with her numerous friends and family, especially with her grandchildren. She very much enjoyed playing card games and the occasional round of bingo. Abby at different times throughout life was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and held various positions as member of the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge. Abby is survived by her siblings Nadine Page of Glendo, Wyoming, Linda Nichol of Lingle, Wyoming, and Jerry Baker of Gillette, Wyoming; children Robert N. Yohe of North Dakota, Michael L. Yohe of Brighton, Colorado, and Brenda L. Myers of Centennial, Colorado; beloved grandchildren Robert N. "Bobby" Yohe Jr of Brighton, Scott A. Yohe of Brighton, and Janielle R. Myers of Littleton, Colorado; ten great grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bonnie E. Scheer and Arthur J. Scheer; brother James A Scheer; daughter Debra A. Yohe; and nephew James "Jimmy" Scheer.
