Marcellyn "Marcy" Roden Ra -
dosevich, 83, died Sunday at
Grand Junction's Hospice Care
Center. She was a vibrant, cheerful
and dignified woman who
raised five children and lived in
Minnesota, Montana, Colorado
and Texas. Her husband John,
who preceded her in 1999, worked a lifetime career with Shell Oil.
Marcy, a charter resident of The Commons in Grand Junction,
Colorado, where she resided since 2003, was a longtime member of
the Residents Council, bowled a perfect 300 Wii game and social -
ized with her many friends and special caregivers. Marcy enjoye d
the social interaction of parties, events plus playing bingo an d
bridge.
Marcy never let the physical limitations of multiple sclerosis interfere
with her joyful and buoyant embrace of life. Her outgoing and
loving nature was a delight to all. She busied herself learning the
computer to research and communicate with a wide variety of
people via email. Many agree that Marcy forwarded the best inte rnet
jokes.
Born in St. Paul, MN, to Paul and Mildred Roden, she spent he r
childhood in St. Paul, graduating from Central High School. All
through school, she and her twin sister, Mitzi, were inseparable. She
attended the University of Minnesota for two years before her a dventurous
spirit took her to Yellowstone National Park for a su mmer
job. There she met and fell in love with John Radosevich, o f
Red Lodge, MT, and they were soon married February 18, 1950, at
St. Luke's Catholic Church in St. Paul.
After having her first child in Red Lodge, John and Marcy mov ed
to Billings, MT, in 1952. They raised their five children as an active
part of the Billings community.
In 1965, Shell transferred John and the family to Arvada, CO,
where their house was always full of their teenagers and boiste rous
friends. Another career move took Marcy, John and their younges t
son to Houston, Texas, in 1973. After retirement and the loss o f
John, Marcy moved to The Commons in Grand Junction in 2003 to
be near her grown children.
She is survived by her two sisters, Mitzi Kennedy and Virgini a
Roden, of Minneapolis, MN; five children, Mike (Suzi) and John of
Grand Junction; Mark (Gerri) of Conifer; Jan, of Breckenridge, and
Matt (Pam) of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; four granddaughters, Katy Andrews
of Breckenridge; Michelle MacGregor of Minneapolis; Sarah
Thomas of Honolulu, and Megan Williams of Redondo Beach, CA;
and two great-grandchildren, Chloe and Colton Thomas of Honolulu.
