Born March 1, 1929, in Nevada, Iowa, Charlotte Jean (McAtee) Starbuck was the daughter of Arlo Emerson and Bessie Marie (Larsen) McAtee. She graduated from Nevada High School in 1947, and was united in marriage to Darrell Dayton Starbuck on August 29, 1948, at Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada.

Jean was employed at Donnelley Marketing in Nevada for several years. In 1956, she and Darrell opened Starbuck’s Drive-In, which became a mainstay of the Nevada business community for over 40 years. They retired to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, and returned to Story County in 1996.

Jean was a faithful member of Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada. Mostly, she loved her family and all the happy times they enjoyed together. She liked to travel and appreciated visits from the kids while in Arkansas. She will be remembered as a caring and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and will be dearly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband Darrell in 2009; her son, Dayton Darrell Starbuck; three sisters, Veletta Poush, Beverley Boyd, and Nancy Haas; and a brother, Darrell McAtee.
