Royetta Blanche Jussel: 1938 – 2023
Royetta was born in Wheatland, Wyoming, the second of eight children.
Her father, Harold LeRoy Graham, was a farmer and cowboy from Missouri, and her mother, Cleta Tanner, grew up on farms in Wyoming. In 1957, Royetta and her sister Rosalie enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, which took them to Lackland AFB for Basic, then to Cheyenne for clerical training (The missiles hadn’t been installed yet.)
She met Keith Jussel in Cheyenne; they were married Nov. 27, 1957. She was then assigned to a unit at Keebler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi.
After her enlistment was up, they moved back to Wyoming.
They had three children: Dean (1960), Philip (1962) and Michelle (1964). Royetta worked a succession of mostly clerical jobs in the Casper area. About 1969 she realized her G.I. Bill benefits were about to expire and so she started taking classes at Casper College.
She was a Non-Traditional student before there was a name for it, finishing an Associates degree in Secretarial Science in 1974.
Royetta and Keith divorced in 1990.
All three children survive, as do Michelle’s three children, one daughter-in-law and six grandchildren, all under the age of fourteen.
Royetta passed away on May 18, 2023, after a long decline with diabetes and kidney disease.
The family wants to thank folks at Central Wyoming Hospice and Transitions for their gracious and professional efforts on her behalf.
Military honors will be rendered in a service tentatively scheduled for July 5, 2023 at the Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to Central Wyoming Hospice and Transitions would be appreciated.
