Martha A. Dicamillo

Martha Aileen Dicamillo
September 9, 1944 – July 11, 2026

Martha Aileen Dicamillo went to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
on July 11, 2026, passing peacefully at her home in Montrose,
Colorado, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with
Alzheimer’s.

Born on September 9, 1944, in Laramie, Wyoming, to LaJoy
Culver-Krill and Edward Krill, Martha spent her early years in
Montrose on Spring Creek Road near Shavano Valley. After her
mother remarried Owen Simonds, who adopted Martha and her
siblings, the family moved to Ouray and later to Eagle, Colorado.
Martha attended Junior High and High School in Eagle, where
she was a cheerleader.

Martha dedicated many years of service as the County Clerk and
Recorder and County Administrator for Eagle County. She later
moved to Denver and worked as Assistant to the Chief of Staff at
Swedish Hospital. Pursuing a new path, she obtained her real
estate and broker’s license alongside her cousin Russ Ellen and
owned Eagle Valley Properties for several years before selling the
business to care for her mother.

In March 2007, Martha met John Dicamillo, and they married in
April 2009. She became a loving stepmother to John’s three
grown children and grandmother to three grandchildren.

Martha cherished traveling, with favorite destinations including Costa
Rica, the Caribbean Islands, and Hawaii—a dream trip fulfilled
during her illness.

Martha was preceded in death by her mother LaJoy; biological
father Edward Krill; adopted father Owen Simonds; sister Louise;
and brother Danny. She is survived by her husband John; brother
Mike Simonds; stepchildren Michelle Dobbs (Timothy),
Christopher Dicamillo (Lynna), Briana Humble (James);
grandchildren Devin Dobbs, Brennen Dicamillo, Bailey Dicamillo;
and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A memorial service with luncheon will be held at Montrose
Christian Church, 2351 Sunnyside Rd., Montrose, on Saturday,
July 18th at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions
may be made to HopeWest Hospice at hopewestco.org.
