Lola Weeks, a long-time resident of Firestone, Colorado, passed away after a courageous seventeen-year battle with cancer. Prior to her illness, she was an active community member in the Tri-Town area.
Lola knocked on many doors asking for donations for the Tri-Area Volunteer Ambulance Service (TAVAS) soon after moving to Firestone in 1969, and seeing the need for an ambulance service in the area where waiting times for help from Greeley sometimes took an hour or more to arrive. After the volunteer organization was established, she took classes to become an EMT and received her certification. She then rode on the ambulance as an EMT and helped many patients get the medical attention needed while being transported to the hospital. Later she served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Tri-Area Ambulance District (now Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District). Lola also served as Town Council member for the Town of Firestone.
She worked at Valley View Hospital (now North Suburban Hospital) in Thornton, Colorado for 20+ years as a physical therapist aid, and loved her work. Outside of her position with the hospital you could find Lola helping her neighbors and friends who were in need after surgeries, or with physical therapy treatments that she could provide to offer them much needed comfort. She believed that she was put on this earth to care for other people.
The youngest of six siblings born to A.T. (Ted) Foster and Lila B. Foster, of Newton Iowa. She was predeceased by her parents, and all of her siblings, Virginia, Ted (Junior), Leo, Betty, and Phyllis.
She is survived by her daughter Kris (Michael) Trejo, of Firestone, and her son Randy (Debbie) Howard, of Evans, Colorado. A nephew, who was like a son to her, Tim (Cathy) Jeffords, of Altoona, Iowa. She leaves behind four granddaughters; Lisa, Jamie, Lori, and Kari, and six great-grandchildren; Ana, Bri, Ellie, Atticus, Deegan, and Raiden. Also, survived by her many loving nieces and nephews and extended families in and around Altoona, and Chariton, Iowa, San Diego, California, and Laveen, Arizona. Last, but not least, were the many friends she made along her life journey; how she loved you all.
Memorial Services will be held on Monday, February 6, 2017 at 1:00pm at New Horizons Christian Church in Dacono, Colorado. Cremation entrusted to Ahlberg Funeral Chapel and Crematory.
