Music was always an important part of her home. Billie had a beautiful soprano voice and involved her children in community theatre and school bands. She taught piano lessons to dozens of neighborhood children. As a young woman, she performed in the Sweet Adelines women's barbershop organization and later in life sang with Gilpin County's Peak-to-Peak Chorale. She loved country western dancing. She also loved attending the activities and sporting events of her children and grandchildren. In 1998 she married Charles Schoser and moved to Coal Creek Canyon. She was never more at peace than when she was in her beloved home in the Rocky Mountain foothills. Billie took great pride in her southwestern roots. Her grandfather had organized the first national Indian Ceremonial at Gallup, New Mexico. The many who attended her holiday gatherings felt of her love for music, family, and friends.
She is survived by 3 siblings: Jack Lambson and Anita Liston of New Mexico and Joel Lambson of Arizona. One brother, Robert Lambson, preceded her in death. She is also survived by her six children: Melinda (Garry) Allen, Natalie (Lonny) Jacobson, Joel (Morgan) McBride, all of Colorado; Lorelei (Nathan) Hale of New Mexico, Aaron (Tonya) McBride of Tennessee, and Adam (Brenda) McBride of Pennsylvania. She has been blessed with 16 grandchildren.
A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, August 6 at 10 AM at East Park at Interlocken. In honor of Billie, please wear jeans and cowboy boots if you have them.
