Anita Gay Seeley was born Jan. 7, 1941, in Havre, Mont., the daughter of Charles Wilbur Seeley and Annabelle (Sathre) Seeley.
She was the oldest and only girl, growing up with two brothers, Roger and David. She graduated high school in 1959 in Shelby, Mont. After graduation she continued her education in Minneapolis, attending lab technician school.
Her first job was in Colorado where she was a lab technician before moving to Riverton in 1961. In Riverton she worked at the hospital before going to work for Dr. Rousseau, Dr. Fernau and Dr. Ferris.
She returned to school in 1986 to work on her nursing degree, which she earned from Central Wyoming College in 1988. She then began her nursing career as a traveling registered nurse before she was hired at Riverton Memorial Hospital where she worked until she retired in 2003 at age 62.
She was an active member of the United Methodist Church, where she held many positions over the years. Her family said she was always willing to offer her time whenever needed.
She belonged to several groups, including the Bunco group, the Red Hats, the RMG (Rocky Mountain Gals) and the "Thursday Night Group." She had many friends with whom she spent treasured time. She also enjoyed staying in touch with her extended family and former classmates.
When she arrived in Riverton on the plane in 1961, she was picked up by Beth Logan, who became a lifelong friend. Ms. Price always resided in Riverton, but she was a world traveler often accompanied by her mother, Annabelle.
