Helen Joyce Marriott, 83 of Clearmont, MO, passed away on Sunday, February 26, 2023 at

UNMC in Omaha, NE following a short illness.

She was born September 16, 1939 in rural Clearmont, MO, near the family farm to James and

Inez Melvin. Helen was a 1957 graduate of Clearmont High School. On June 2, 1957, she

married John Marriott, Sr., in Clearmont, MO, and to this union four boys were born.

Helen was a farmer's wife, homemaker, school cafeteria cook, and retired as a baker for the

Clarinda Correctional Facility. Along the way she was mom, cook, nurse, referee and the rock of

the family for her boys, grandma to 12, and great-grandma to 25. Helen loved to cook and passed

those skills down to her boys and grandchildren. She was the best archer in the family, even with

the wrong hand, and chose camouflage as our family color for our reunions. She loved spending

time with family, having gatherings at the pond, and watching the Chiefs games.

by her parents, husband John, son James, and daughter-in-law Patricia. Also preceding were
