Mrs. Kent died at her home, the widely known Kent ranch, 10 miles south of Rock Springs, Friday at 12:10 a.m. She died of pneumonia with which she was stricken a week prior although she had been in failing health the last several years. The last time she was in Rock Springs was early in December.
Mrs. Kent was the wife of the late William Kent and mother of former Sweetwater county State Representative John Kent.
