What happens when a native Calfornian settles in Wyoming? Magic! Rhetha Davis left the hustle and bustle of the golden state and moved to the wide open spaces of the cowboy state, where she now lives with her husband John and works at the University of Wyoming. 

​

Rhetha also has served on the boards of several non-profit organizations as well as helping with their fundraising efforts. In their spare time Rhetha and her husband love to create artwork and share it within the community as well as spending time with her family; especially her 11 grandchildren and her dog Chloe.
