Marie Elizabeth RUNDELL, the daughter of Clarence and Phoebe (French) RUNDELL, was born on Jan.10, 1898,in Sheephorn, Colo., where she was raised and went to grade school. She then went to two years of finishing school in Boulder.
Miss RUNELL was a dressmaker and owned a shop in the bottom of the Mayflower Hotel in Denver where she lived for 14 years. In the 1950s, she sold her shop in Denver and moved to Kremmling, Colo., where she opened a dress shop in the Eastin Hotel.
Miss RUNDELL operated her shop and lived in Kremmling for 30 years until she fell and broke her hip in 1980 and moved to independent living at the Colorow Care Center in Olathe. Her health continued to fail and she then moved to Horizons Care Center at Eckert in1983 to be closer to her niece, Maxine McPHEE, where she made her home until the time of her death.
Miss RUNDELL is survived by one nephew, Ernest JONES, one niece, Evelyn JONES, of Scottsdale, Ariz.; four great-nephews: John MATHER, of Delta; Duane and David JONES, both of Kremmling; Bill JONES of California; and one great-niece, Cindy ELLER, of Kremmling.
She was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Helen JONES, one brother, Ernest RUNDELL; and her niece, Maxine McPHEE.
When she was younger, Miss RUNDELL loved being with her nieces, nephews, and relatives, having a good time with them because she would act like a kid herself.
Until her health failed, Miss RUNDELL loved music and playing the piano. She was an accomplished artist and loved the outdoors, especially the flowers and wildlife on the Sheephorn where she was raised.
