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 Chicksaw 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.   Marie never met a stranger and made friends everywhere she went.  In recent years spending time with her family and friends has been a great source of joy for her.

She is survived by daughters Theresa (Kenny), Sue (Gary), 8 Grandchildren, 15 Great Grandchildren, and 1 Great Great Grandchild as well as several beloved cousins and friends.    Marie was proceeded in death by her Love, Francis “Leo” Ashcraft, her parents, and her sons Kendall and Tom (Susann).
