Margaret Guccini
June 10, 1927 - March 19, 2017
Margaret Guccini died Sunday, March 19, at HopeWest Care Center surrounded by her loving family, all witness to her courage and determination to rejoin her beloved husband, Louie, who had preceded her in death in 2002. Louie was the love of her life and not a day went by in the past 15 years that she did not lovingly remember their 55 years of
marriage. Now they are reunited again.
Margaret was born in 1927 as Margaret Beede. She and her
family immigrated to the Grand Valley from Eastern Colorado
in 1936 during the Dust Bowl migration. A family picture of her
mother and father (Marguerite and Wayne Beede) and the three
children sitting on the front stoop of their new home in Loma is
in the Library of Congress commemorating the successful
resettlement program. Margaret was in the fourth grade at the
time. Who would have guessed that her 19-year-old school bus
driver would become her future husband—certainly not 9-yearold Margaret. She graduated from Fruita Union High School in 1945, attended one year of college at CSU, and then married
Louis Guccini in 1947. Margaret taught second grade at Loma
Elementary for one year before starting her own family.
Her true passion was being a mother and creating a beautiful
family on the farm in Loma that she and Louie built together.
She even won a state competition for homemaker of the year, of
which she always said was her proudest moment and greatest
achievement.
She will truly be missed by her children, Wayne, Linda, and
Jackie; her seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
She was always there for each of us with her sunny disposition
and loving countenance. Her loving generosity has always been
the hallmark of her life that each of us has strived to emulate.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Wayne Beede, and
sister, Joyce Landini. She is survived by her brother, Bob Beede
(Suzy) of Boise, Idaho; son, Wayne Guccini (Mary) of Loma;
daughter, Linda Geer (John) of Grand Junction, and daughter,
Jackie Skelton (Doug) of Grand Junction. Other survivors
include her grandchildren, Matt Guccini of Denver; Carrie
Cordova (Lonny) of Loma; Laurie Moorland (Matt) of Fruita;
Jennifer Divito of Denver; Colby Smith (Ashley) of Windsor;
Nathan Geer of Logan, Utah, and Seth Geer of Denver, and
seven great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to HopeWest
Hospice, 3909B N. 12th Street, Grand Junction, CO 81506.
A Memorial Service will be held at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary
at 2:00 p.m. on March 24, 2017.
