Frances “Marie” Ashcraft,
age 93, went to be with the Lord
on January 25.
Marie was the lone child born
to O.B. and Lucille Spotswood
in Yuba, OK, on April 17, 1926.
In 1954, she moved to Grand
Junction where she spent most
of the rest of her life.
She was a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation. She was also
devoted to her faith as a Baptist and was member of the Riverside
Baptist Church. Marie spent a number of years as the church’s
secretary after her retirement from the insurance and banking
industries. She never met a stranger and made friends everywhere
she went. In recent years spending time with her family and friends
had been a great source of joy for her.
She is survived by daughters, Theresa (Kenny), and Sue (Gary);
eight grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one great-greatgrandchild; several beloved cousins and friends. Marie was
preceded in death by her love, Francis “Leo” Ashcraft; her parents,
and sons, Kendall and Tom (Susann).
The family will have a celebration of life at Brown’s Cremation
Service on Friday, February 7, at 12:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to
HopeWest.
