Jan. 6, 1951 - Aug. 17, 2019

Ross Warbington, 68, who grew up in Beulah, passed away at his Steamboat Springs home, after batt­ling cancer. He was born to Carl and Gladys Warbington in Pueblo, CO. Ross graduated from Pueblo County High School in 1969. He married his sweetheart, Andrea, on January 20, 1973. He is survived by his wife, Andrea, and daughters Shawna Warbington and Jessica Warbington, his brothers, Roy and Ricky; his sister Connie, as well as numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Ross was the most loving, kind, and dedicated husband and father that you can imagine. He was a successful businessman, and his sense of humor was known far and wide. He teased everyone without regard for whether he knew them or not. His jokes were often terrible, sometimes off color, but always funny. Ross was well loved by many and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. His passing was quick, as he would have wanted, but we are sure he was a little disappointed that no bear was involved in his final moments. We are equally sure Andrea is relieved that he wasn't outside in his underwear with a 

gun chasing the aforementioned 

bear, again...

Services will be held at Holy Name Catholic Church, Steamboat, CO at 11am on Saturday September 7, 2019. Reception to follow.       v

May 31, 1935 - May 22, 2019

Billie Jo Hiatt, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother was called home on May 22, 2019 just shy of her 84th birthday.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Stanton, her son, Mitchell Hiatt and grandson, Michael Hiatt.  She is survived by sons Michael Hiatt of Wyoming, and Mark Hiatt of Beulah, and extended family members, Diana and Philip Quattlebaum of Florence, Colorado.  BJ is also survived by her grandchildren Jamaica, Josh, Joe, Christy, and Matthew and five great-grandchildren.  

Billie Jo, or BJ as she was affectionately called by friends, was born in Yampa, Colorado on May 31, 1935, to Joe and Pauline Dunn.   She and her brother, Sonny, grew up on the family ranch in the Yampa Valley where Billie Jo loved being a cowgirl and riding her horse.   BJ’s family moved to Peyton, Colorado in her teen years where BJ graduated from Peyton High School and later met, then married, Stanton on May 23, 1956.  They moved to the beautiful Beulah Valley where they made their home and raised their family.  

BJ instantly became an integral part of the Beulah community where she spent many years in volunteer service.  BJ worked with the Beulah Parent Teacher Organization while her three sons attended the school.  BJ served on the Yule Log committee, the Community Center board, and was founder of the Beulah Petals Garden Club.  She served many years as a dispatcher for the Beulah Volunteer Fire Department and was once president of the Beulah Volunteer Ambulance service.  BJ was a caring and committed EMT who fought hard to establish and support the ambulance service for her community.  For many years, BJ organized the Bonfils Blood Center community blood drive and she spent many years working on numerous fundraisers for the Volunteer Fire Department and for the Ambulance service. 

BJ’s EMT experience transitioned into a career with the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department in 1987, first in the medical department and later as a detention officer.  BJ’s sense of humor was one of her greatest assets.  She was funny and she loved to joke, but that didn’t prevent her from diligently performing her detention duties.  She always had a good word for everybody, which helped keep up morale and endeared her to coworkers.  She never judged people, and this gained her respect from officers and inmates, alike.  BJ took a great deal of pride in her career and loved sharing stories about the friendships she developed on the force.  BJ retired from the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department in 2002 but she never forgot her brothers and sisters in blue.
