Eleanor Anita Braley

Eleanor Zink Braley left this earth on November 24, 2024, in peace at her home.  Eleanor was born to Archie Zink and Molly (Mickey) Coleman Zink on April 15, 1929, in Arvada, WY and was the third child of eight.   She is survived by her sister Shirley Porteous, Crescent City, CA and was preceded in death by her sisters Helen Heth, Betty Fountain, Rose Mitich, Sandra Love and brothers Charles Zink and Edd Zink and her first husband George Mirich.  They married in 1945 and had four children; George Mirich Jr. (deceased); Peggy Dinesen, Lakeland FL; Gayle Loring (Robert), Sheridan, WY; Richard Mirich, Osage, WY and grandchildren Mason Mirich, Christopher Mirich, Natalie Gunn, Robert Dinesen and Lance Loring.

She married James Braley in 1970 in Sheridan, and they had one child, Thatcher Braley, Sheridan, WY as well as stepson Ryan Braley (Cindy), Billings, MT and grandchildren Haile Spaulding (Lee), Elizabeth Braley, Colmann Braley and Jett Braley.

Eleanor was a creative, energetic, fun-loving individual who loved her family, babies, sewing and dancing at the Legion.  She was an excellent cook and always had an amazing yard and flower gardens.  She is loved by many and will be greatly missed.  Her family is following her request to be cremated with no service at this time.   Sheridan Funeral Home is handling the arrangements, and the family requests you leave a message on the website instead of flowers or cards.  A celebration of life will be in the spring with the scattering of her ashes. Online condolences may be made to www.sheridanfuneral.com. Arrangements are under the care of Sheridan Funeral Home.
