Ulrike “Uli” Stiles: Obituary

If you enjoy showcasing your wit and mathematical prowess behind a deck of cards, your bets are now safe.
If you enjoy the footwork of a good two step, your dance partner is now safe.
If you enjoy putting the pedal to the medal and doing donuts, I-15 between Barstow and Las Vegas or even the Fannin County Recreation Center parking lots are now safe.
If you have ever had to dodge a feisty wheelchair race champion while walking the halls of the Life Care Center of Copper Basin, your toes are now safe.
