Maryellen Pierce

Maryellen Pierce
April 25, 1926 – June 24, 2018

Our sweet mother, Maryellen Pierce, passed from this life into the next on June 24, 2018 at Valley Manor Care Center.

Maryellen was born and raised in Sabina, Ohio. After high school graduation, she attended and graduated from cosmetology school in Columbus, Ohio. During this time, she met and married J.D. Pierce, Sr. and became a military wife. She traveled the world as an Army wife and raised three children. (Army brats!)

She moved from Colorado Springs to Montrose, CO in 2007 where she resided at Sunrise Creek Assisted Living for over eleven years. At the time of her death she had lived at Sunrise Creek longer than any other resident; and she was loved by all who knew her.

Maryellen was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, two sisters, her husband, and her only son, J.D Pierce, Jr. She is survived by her two daughters, Vicki (Al) Becker of Montrose and Jackie Pierce (Rick) Eaton of Colorado Springs; one granddaughter, Brooke Becker of New Orleans, LA; one grandson, Luke Pierce of Toledo, OH, and numerous nieces and nephews. Also surviving is her youngest sister, Patty (Dave) Thomas of The Villages, FL.

Vicki and Jackie would like to thank the staff of Sunrise Creek for the many years of care and love she received there. We would also like to thank Valley Manor and Hope West for the end of life care they provided for our Mom. We already miss her so much; but we know that she is safe in the arms of Jesus!

Cremation has taken place with the assistance of Crippin Funeral Home & Crematory. Per Maryellen’s request, there were no services.
