Helen Jean Martsolf, of Fruita,
passed away on December 30,
2019, at 4:34 p.m., to join her
beloved husband, Howard Sr.
They were happily married for
74 years; from this union, four
sons were born. Cremation has
already taken place and a private
memorial service will be held on

Jean and Howard were high school sweethearts and married on
October 7, 1936, living in New Brighton until they moved to Grand
Junction in 1961. She was a “stay at home” mom until her children
were all in school, then spent 25 years in retail sales, retiring from
Keith O’Brien’s.
Jean and Howard enjoyed gardening, reading, fishing, rock
hunting, square dancing, and attending Fruita United Methodist
Church. They were inducted into the Square Dancer’s Hall of Fame
in 2000. They enjoyed volunteering at the Grey Gourmet, and in
her later years Jean enjoyed attending the Fruita Community Center
senior citizens group. They loved to travel and cruise and spent a
decade of happy winters in Arizona as camp hosts.
