Jean Marshall
On May 12, 1931, Alma Jean Echols Marshall was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma to the proud parents of Eddie and Mossie Rosetta Echols.
The youngest of five siblings, Jean (Mom) completed 14 years of education graduating from Miller Washington High School in Red Bird, OK on May 26, 1949 and moved to Denver soon thereafter, where she later earned her Certificate of Completion from Community College of Denver. She later went on to work at John Selman's Record Shop on Five Points and as a Sales Clerk at May D & F and JC Penney Company. Later on she went on to work security at George Washington and Manual high schools where she was well liked and respected by the students and staff. Her last full-time employment included Mountain Bell/US West/Qwest and finally Dex Yellow Pages before retiring in 1996. Never one to be idle, she returned to the workforce part-time at Farmers Insurance Group/Jody Macht Agency.
Jean (Mom) was a devoted member of Campbell Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Denver.
On October 11, 2014 Jean (Mom) was called to rest after a long illness. She is survived by six children, Sandra K (Joe) Nunley-Bedenbough, Linnell (Bubbie) Nunley, Ronald (Ron) Ivory, Penny Ivory, Karen Marshall and Donna (Danny Hardaway) Hymes-Small; all of Denver. Preceding her in death are her siblings James Rollins, Bonnie McHenry, Elsie Scarborough, Pauline Rollins and her loving friend and niece D. Yvonne Freeman. She is survived by her eldest niece Jacqulyn (Jackie) Curry, Denver, nephew Bernard J. McIntyre, Albuquerque, NM and Cousin Mary Alice Benson, Colorado Springs, CO; as well as a host of other cousins, nieces and nephews.
She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 59 great grandchildren and numerous great great grandchildren. Jean (Mom) also loved the closeness and companionship of her devoted friends Patricia Joann Hall and Juanita Sippial.
Jean (Mom) was an avid collector of clown memorabilia. She also had an impressive display of elephant figurines and refrigerator magnets of all sorts. She enjoyed music, travel and shopping. Jean (Mom) affectionately doted on her favorite pets Barney, Shay-Pierre and Jasper, all Schnauzers.
Jean (Mom) loved her children unconditionally and her love extended to other family members and friends. She always made herself available in their time of need. She will be continually loved and missed by all who knew her.
Donations may be made in Jean's Memory to Ron R. Ivory or Donna Small at 15204 East 8th Ave., Aurora, CO 80011.
