ELLENTON, Fla. — Marjean Saltsgiver returned to heaven on May 4, 2017, at the age of 78.
She was born and raised in Warsaw, moved to the suburbs of Chicago in 1958 and settled in Bradenton, Fla., in 1971. She was a homemaker and a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Bradenton. Marjean loved sewing, camping, reading and helping the elderly in the community, but her greatest joy in life came from being the most loving, caring and fun "Grammy" to her grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Richard; beloved daughter and son-in-law, Jackie and Ron Van Ostenbridge; granddaughters, Casey Van Ostenbridge (Bryan) Russell and Carey Van Ostenbridge; and great-granddaughters, Hayley and Hannah Russell, all of Bradenton; sister, Debby West, New York; brother, Ron West, Indiana; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Barb and Bob Danielson, Indiana, and Joann and Tom Saltsgiver, Pennsylvania.
Per her request, a private burial is at Mansion Memorial Park, Ellenton, Fla.
