Carol “June” Matzek, 81, of Falcon, Colorado, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, June had been a resident of Falcon since 1998, where she built a life filled with warmth, community, and cherished memories.
Born on July 15, 1944, in St. Vincent, Minnesota, to Evelyn and Clifford Grumbo, June grew up in a close-knit family. In 1972, she met Mylo “Matt” Matzek, and the two were united in marriage in 1977, beginning a loving partnership that spanned nearly five decades. June worked for many years at Stylemark, Inc. in Minnesota before she and Matt relocated to Falcon, Colorado.
June was a woman of many passions, finding joy in baking, traveling, and bowling, through which she forged lasting friendships and touched the lives of many. Her warm spirit extended to her professional life, where she took pride in fitting cadets with their dress uniforms at the U.S. Air Force Academy and working as a part-time salesclerk for a local clothing manufacturer.
June is survived by her devoted husband, Matt Matzek; her sons: Michael Frost (Carol), Jack Frost (Debbie), and Terry Frost; her grandchildren: Jericho Frost, Brenna Frost (Chris Gonzales), and Ryan Frost (Becca); and three great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her brothers: Richard Grumbo (Lois), Robert Grumbo (Gayle), and Russell Garnett; and her sisters: Geri Miller, Betty Story (Bill), Kathy Morave, Linda Erickson (Ray), and Genni McAllister (Pete).
June was preceded in death by her parents, Evelyn and Clifford Grumbo, and her daughter, Carla Mae Frost.
A memorial service to celebrate June’s life will be held on October 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the Shrine of Remembrance, “America the Beautiful” Chapel, located at 1730 East Fountain Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
June’s kindness, generosity, and love for her family and friends will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who knew her.
