May 26, 1940 — June 28, 2017
Benita Felicia Iturrian Anglen (BJ)our vibrant and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, passed away with loving family members by her side on June 28, 2017 at the Help for Health Hospice in Riverton, Wyoming after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was raised on the Mitten Ranch herding sheep in the middle of the Red Desert. She graduated from Riverton High School. On May 27, 1960 she married Earl William Anglen, they later divorced. Benita was a "stay at home" mom as far as being a mom and farm/ranch wife, working as hard on the ranch as the men. She was the life of the party when it came to being the "parent" for 4-H kids and local teenagers. She loved horseback riding, draw/paint, the outdoors, fishing, arrowhead hunting and playing practical jokes. If Benita had a dollar, everyonearound her had a dollar.
