Carlyle "Carly" Viehmeyer passed away Friday, Nov. 6, 2015, in Arvada.

She was born to Curtis and Ernestine Rogers on Jan. 29, 1932, in Omaha, Neb.

She graduated from Sheridan, Wyo., High School in 1949 and from the University of Nebraska in 1953 with a bachelor's degree from the Teachers' College.

Carly met Glen R. Viehmeyer on a blind date while at the University and they were married Aug. 23, 1952.

Carly and Glen lived in North Platte, Neb.; Colby, Kan.; and Johnstown, Keenesburg and Longmont, before settling in Burlington in 1966.

She met Leno Ruffini, her loving companion for 12 years, a few years after Glen passed away in 1999.

Carly lived in Burlington until 2013 when she and Leno moved to an assisted living facility in Arvada due to Carly's health issues.

Carly, a mainstay as the secretary of Burlington High School for almost 30 years, was very involved in the community.

As a member of the United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, the church bell choir, P.E.O, bridge club, and a Rotary International District Governor's wife, she was always on the go.

She loved to travel and drove thousands of miles around the country, first with Glen and then with Leno.

Carly loved spending time with family and friends, both new and old.

Carly was preceded in death by her husband, Glen, her companion, Leno, and her granddaughter, Janna Viehmeyer.

She is survived by her daughters Kelly Spain (Lynn) of Huffman, Texas, and Susan Doak (Paul) of Arvada and her son, Curt Viehmeyer (Debbie Alman) of Fort Collins, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

A memorial to celebrate Carly's life was held at the Arvada Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015.
