Jolie Marie Clark passed away on March 15, 2025, at her home on Fruitland Mesa near Crawford, Colorado. She was 69 years young.
Jolie was born in Denver, Colorado, on June 26, 1955, to Joann Marcum (Zancanella) and David Zancanella. She spent her school years in Crested Butte and her high school years in Paonia, Colorado, where she graduated in 1973.
She met her husband Ralph in high school, and they were married in 1973. They were married for nearly 52 years. The Crawford area is where she spent the rest of her life.
