Celebration of Life for Wilma Shriver October 25 (posted 10/14/2025)
Wilma May Moore came into this world at the Rock Springs, WY hospital. Born to Jeannette Showers Moore and William Ben (Buck) Moore on November 3, 1938. Wilma was also greeted by her brother Alvin, two years her senior.

Through her early years, the family moved frequently between Rock Springs, Farson, Pinedale and Kendall Valley, Wyoming. Her real love of outdoors and nature developed through these years as this was her safe place and solace. Kendall Valley was her real home in her heart. Wilma attended Pinedale High School (1954-57), and in her Junior year she started dating Kenneth Shriver. Upon graduation, Kenneth and Wilma married, June 2, 1957.

Kenneth and Wilma started their family April 11, 1959, when Vicki Kay was born. Brandon Earl came along seven years later on March 23, 1966. Wilma loved the stability of never moving and the values ranch life gave to her children. Kenneth was her safe place. Her other half. They shared a life for 52 years on the ranch, when Kenneth preceded her in passing January, 2012.

She had a strong tie to family and is survived by her son, Brandon Shriver and his wife Sue, her daughter, Vicki Lozier and grandchildren: Cody Lozier, Ben Shriver, Chris Shriver, Aspen Shenefelt and Ginger Dye. Great grandchild: Brooklyn Shriver.

Wilma passed peacefully in her long-time ranch home, surrounded by family, October 4th 2025. Only a month before her 87th birthday, joining her lifelong love, Kenneth, who was the "Wind Beneath Her Wings."

Please join us for Wilma’s Celebration of Life at the Covill Funeral Home in Pinedale on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 11:00am.

The Gooch Family makes generous donation to the Museum of the Mountain Man (posted 10/12/2025)
PINEDALE, WYOMING – The Museum of the Mountain Man is honored to announce a generous $450,000 monetary donation from the Gooch Family, whose deep roots in Sublette County and appreciation for local history inspired their contribution. The donation will be used to build Fort Sublette for living history interpretation.

Bruce "Rusty" Gooch was raised in an Army Air Force family and experienced many parts of the United States during his youth. In 1953, his ties to Sublette County began when he started visiting his grandfather, Cortland Tisher, whose property adjoined the land where the Museum of the Mountain Man now stands. Those summer visits became an annual tradition that firmly established the Gooch family’s connection to the Pinedale area.

After graduating from college in 1967, Rusty moved to Pinedale, where he owned and operated the Triangle R Lodge—a well-known outfitting business and motel that served both locals and visitors. In addition to his work as an outfitter, Rusty also dabbled in a number of real estate and business investments throughout the area, reflecting his commitment to the growth and vitality of the community.

In 1974, he moved to Jackson before returning to Pinedale in 1986 with his then wife and two children, Lindsey and Wesley Gooch, both of whom attended and graduated from the schools in Pinedale. In 2010, he married Rosemary Turk, who, though not a local, quickly developed her own fondness for the area and its history—further strengthening the family’s ties to Sublette County.

"The Gooch Family believes the Museum of the Mountain Man is an incredible asset to our community—one that keeps the history and spirit of the area alive for generations to come," said Rusty Gooch.

The Sublette County Historical Society and Museum of the Mountain Man extend their sincere gratitude to the Gooch Family for their generosity and their ongoing commitment to preserving the stories and heritage that define this remarkable region.
