Ethelind Elbert Austin, the grandniece of Colorado territorial Gov. Samuel Elbert — for whom Mount Elbert is named — and the great-grandniece-in-law of territorial Gov. John Evans — for whom Mount Evans is named — died at her home in Aurora on Jan. 28.

Margaret Jean Kirkpatrick (Peterson), 83, of Evergreen died Feb. 3, 2009. Born in Munising, Mich., Margaret moved to Denver in 1947 with a degree in nursing. She met George Kirkpatrick at the University of Denver, and they were married in 1948. They have lived in Evergreen since 1983. During their 62 years of marriage, they enjoyed traveling the world, camping, fishing, skiing and being with their family.

Jean Y. Mohr was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Feb. 22, 1920, and died in Wheat Ridge on Dec. 31, 2008.

She married the love of her life, Harold Mohr, on July 4, 1942. Jean became a well-respected local watercolor artist, capturing the beauty of Colorado and ocean landscapes.

Jean was a strong, independent woman and an avid Broncos fan and reader. Her stubbornness was more than offset by her comic playfulness and zest for life. She retained a wonder and delight for the beauty in the world, from the first spring flowers to a Mozart concerto.

G. Patrick Stueber 71, of Evergreen, died unexpectedly Jan. 22, 2009, after a brief illness.

He is survived by his wife, Judy J. Jipsen; sons Russell and Randall (Pattie); grandchildren Reed, Riley, Alexander and Melinda; and a brother, Richard, of Minnesota. Patrick was preceded in death by a daughter, Rochelle; and a brother, Charles.

A celebration of life is planned for spring. Arrangements entrusted to Evergreen Mortuary. Condolence messages may be sent to the family at www.EvergreenMemorialPark.com.
