Johanna Cecilia Bertagnolli Mau, age 86, joined the ranks of the angels when she journeyed home to be with her beloved husband, Bill, her daughter, Peggy, her grandson, Ricky, her parents and brother and sister.

Johanna died on Sunday, August 13, 2017 at South Lincoln Medical Center in Kemmerer. 

She was born on June 24, 1931, in Rock Springs, to Richard Joseph and Rosie (Tayo) Bertagnolli.

Johanna was an inspiration on how to live one’s life to all who knew her.

She ran the race well. She has crossed the finish line. We will cherish her forever.

Johanna is survived by her sister, Rosalie Christie, her daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Nick Bettas; her daughter and son-in-law, Jerri and Ed Kelley; her grandchildren, Bill Bettas, Kellieanne and Ken Boris, Matt and Shannon Kelley, Maggie and KS Hagemann, five great-grandchildren and many dear friends.

Johanna was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.  She enjoyed cooking and gardening. 

She was a devoted member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, and most of all, she was a sheep rancher’s devoted wife.

Graveside and rosary services will be conducted on Monday, August 28, at 10:00 a.m. at the South Lincoln Cemetery in Kemmerer with Father August Koenue as the celebrant.

Memorial donations may be made to the South Lincoln Medical Center, in C/O: Jessie Wilcox.
