On Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 6:33 p.m., Mary Grace (Knittle) Watt, supported by
family and staff for several months, died at Help for Health Hospice in Riverton,
Wyoming.
Mary was born on January 25, 1930 in Douglas, Wyoming, the fifth child of
Richard and Fanne Knittle. She was raised in Pavillion and graduated from
Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming in 1948. She married Harmon
Watt, Jr. in Riverton on February 3, 1951. She and Harmon went on to share a
historic home in Riverton and have four lovely children.
In addition to being a very loving and supportive mother, and providing a
firm foundation for her husband, Harmon, who was very active in the community,
she herself was also very active in the community. Most notably she and Harmon
played a significant role in establishing Sertoma Senior Citizen Housing in
Riverton. And Mary went on to manage the books as a volunteer for 25 years. She
was also a member of the Riverton Country Club, where she wrote, directed and
acted in several plays, and was active in several bridge clubs over the years. She
loved the Wyoming landscape and wildlife, was an excellent cook, read
voraciously, worked crossword and jigsaw puzzles, but most of all loved to care
for and visit with family.
Mary is survived by all four children, her son, Glenn Watt and wife Diana;
daughter, Margaret Shaw and husband Rod (deceased); daughter, Susan Neustrom
and husband Steve; and daughter, Sally Watt; eight grandchildren, Jeremiah,
Kristen, Garrett, Ben, Sessily, Erik, Brady and Gaelen; two very close nieces, Ann
(Schaefer) Dawson and Jean (Schaefer) Yennie; as well as six great grandchildren;
and four other nephews and two nieces, all of whom she absolutely adored.
Her family thanks all those who have come forward to share their stories of
her impact in their lives, and the many incredible, wonderful people associated
with Help for Health Hospice. We cannot thank them enough for their large hearts
and dedicated care for her in her final few months. There will be no service, and
any donations may go to Help for Health Hospice. They provide a rare and
extremely valuable service to the community. Lets keep them here, alive and well!
Although Mary will be deeply missed by her family and this community, her
presence will continue here in the heart of the valley and in the hearts of all those
who loved her.
