Billie McBride Schoser passed from this life on July 31, 2014. She was
born to Robert Eugene Lambson and Mildred Jewel Crockett on December 30,
1941 in Roswell, New Mexico. She grew up in Albuquerque graduating from
Valley High School and later attended Brigham Young University. She
married Richard McBride in 1961 and they reared their six children in El
Paso, Texas. She later obtained her nursing degree and worked as a
home health nurse in Meeker and Rifle, Colorado.
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.

death. She is also survived by her six children: Melinda (Garry) Allen,
