Elsie (Klemencic) Stanton, a
resident of Palisade and Cameo
for nearly 92 years, died peacefully
on Monday, April 16, 2012.
She will be missed by family,
friends, and lodge members.
Elsie was born in Aspen, the
fifth of ten children, on February
2, 1917, a daughter of immigrants
from Slovenia, (at that time
a province of Austria-Hungary), to Frank and Cecilia (Hocevar)
Klemencic.
She went to school in Cameo and Palisade. She married Charles
George Stanton in Grand Junction, on January 6, 1937. They celebrated
their 75th wedding anniversary this year.
Like many Americans of her generation, Elsie was profoundly
shaped by World War II. Her husband joined the Marines and was
trained in San Diego. Elsie followed him and secured a job with an
aircraft company as a riveter. When Charles went overseas, Elsie
came back to Cameo to stay with her parents. Charles was overseas
39 months in the South Pacific area. When the war was over, she
had a home prepared for the two of them.
She was an accomplished homemaker, she enjoyed cooking, sewing,
attending Royal Neighbors and other lodges, and family outings
to Grand Mesa.
Elsie was preceded in death by her parents; three brothers; Frank I.
Klemencic, Louis L. Klemencic, and Joe F. Klemencic, (who was
killed in France in World War II, in January, 1945); four sisters, Cecilia
(Klemencic) Damron, Mary Helen (Klemencic) Mautz, Johanna
(Klemencic) Pappas, and Stephanie Klemencic, (who passed
away in infancy), and son-in-law, Melvin Eugene Huff.
Elsie is survived by her husband; daughter, Sharon Kay (Stanton)
Huff; granddaughter, Melody Huff; grandson, Charles Frank Huff,
(and his wife, Vanessa Louise Huff), and and great-grandsons, Nycholas,
Kyle, Ryan, and Mytchell; sister, Agnes Grace (Klemencic)
Feil and Agnes' husband, David Merle Feil; brother, John Klemencic,
and numerous nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and
grand-nephews, and great-grand-nieces and great-grand-nephews.
