WHEATLAND -  Stephanie Bayne Wilson who was born in Scotts Bluff and raised in Wheatland lends credit to her parents for nurturing and bringing forth the creative side of her.

“I was raised in Wyoming,” she said. “Six-months after I was born, we moved to Wyoming. We were in Scotts Bluff because we had a lot of family there. The first recollection I have of Wyoming was living in Casper and then moving to Manville where my dad had his first church.”

Wilson’s dad was a minister in the Christian Missionary Alliance organization, first in Manville and then eventually in Wheatland where he pastored for a time.

“He had the church in Manville that was basically a community church for the whole community,” she said. “My parents both graduated from Lusk High School and were very familiar with the area. After Manville, we came to Wheatland in 1978. I started going to West Elementary. Then on to junior high and high school where I graduated in 1986.”

Growing up with three sisters who were, according to Wilson, “all creative” came from parents who are also very creative.
