AILEEN CULVER CLINE

Aileen was privileged to come from a large, musical, talented and loving family. She had wonderful parents and siblings.  Aileen played the guitar and sang with her brothers and sisters.  She began her career at Mountain Bell Telephone Company in Montrose, Colorado as a telephone operator.  She moved to Grand Junction with Mountain Bell and was promoted into Banking in an Executive position with the company.  Aileen was a kind and gentle Christian of great and unwavering faith.

There is a poem: “Tell me what should I have done?  Doesn’t everything die at last and to soon?  Tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?  Aileen died at last and to soon.  She lived her precious life as a caring, kind, loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and friend.

Her husband, Robert E. Cline, preceded her in death.  They had two sons:  Darren Lee Cline (Christine) and Robert Brett Cline (Tran).   She was a kind and loving mother to her sons. Aunt Aileen gave generously and unselfishly gave to her nieces and nephews, Russ Ellen (Selly), Rusty, Dwayne, Carol, Patty, Bobby, and Cathy.  She is survived by her many loving and wonderful nieces (great), nephews (great), and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Bessie Campbell Culver and Burr Culver; her siblings, Edward Culver (Mamie), Richard Culver (Marcella), LaJoye Simonds (Owen), Betty Mcgaughey (Glenn), and Beth Hull (Russell).
