Wendy Roth

Wendy Roth was born February 6, 1969, on her older sister’s birthday in Billings, Montana and passed away March 6, 2024, in Lovell, Wyoming at the age of 55. She was the third of four children of Gerry and Sharon Roth. She grew up in Powell, Wyoming, Shoshoni, Wyoming, and McGrath, Alaska. She graduated from Shoshoni High School and moved to Provo, Utah for a time until moving to Salt Lake City in a top floor Avenues apartment where she would crawl out the window and sit on the roof. She worked jobs at a greenhouse and a record store before moving to California to pursue her lifelong dream of being a photographer.

Working as an apprentice she packed photo gear, set up shoots, built sets, worked on shoots, and eventually did photo shoots for concerts and NBA games.

From California she moved to Lovell and started her own photography business, which was always her first love and goal. While waiting for her photo business to take off, she began working at the Hyart Theatre, where she eventually became the manager. She oversaw the transition from standard film to digital, spending hours with the technicians learning all she could about everything to do in the projection booth, including how to fix issues and problems so the theatre would not have to incur the wait and expense of technicians coming from Utah. She loved the Hyart and movies.

She loved teaching and learning, but especially loved teaching primary kids and the young men and young women in her ward. Any of the kids she taught became “her kids”, and she would often point them out and whisper, “that’s one of mine”.

Wendy was preceded in death by her father, Gerry, three Uncles she loved dearly, and three Aunts that she loved dearly as well.

She is survived by her mother Sharon, brother Kerry (Joanne), sister Teresa (Matt), brother Paul (Summer), and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at the LDS Stake Center in Lovell.  Interment of cremains will be in the Park City, Montana cemetery at 3:30 p.m.
