Winifred Zoe Pool [02/23/1921 - 04/12/2013]
Pool, Winifred Zoe, 92, of Highlands Ranch, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 12 after a short illness. While under the care of the supportive staff of Porter Hospice for the past two weeks before her death, Winifred was continually surrounded by family and friends who loved her.
She was born on February 23, 1921 in New York to Howard and Winifred Goodman and grew up in the Queens area of NYC where she was very active with her youth group at Christ Congregational Church. She met her Bill at the youth group when both were 14, he joined the Navy during WWII, and they married in 1944. Both came from very humble beginnings and where faith and family were the cornerstones of life.
Winifred and Bill were an Exxon family and moved to many places during their 54 years of married life. They built their first home themselves in New Jersey where their daughter, Beverly, was born in 1950. Work assignments took them to many places including Tulsa, OK, Houston and Midland, TX, Tripoli, Libya, and Darien, CT. Their retirement years were spent near Winston-Salem, NC. Bill preceded her in death in 1999.
Faith was the cornerstone of Winifreds life, and in each new city she called home, finding a church was always the most important matter. It was there that she would make lasting friendships, join the couples groups, champion the craft guilds, the building committee, or work as the church treasurer. Despite the many moves, the friendships that were her extended family endured throughout her life.
As a career homemaker, Winifred was an incredible wife, mother, Girl Scout leader, and friend, and still found time in her later years to return to college at University of Tulsa and University of Houston, while also taking care of her own parents who lived with them.
At the tender age of 88, Winifred moved from North Carolina to the Vi Retirement Community at Highlands Ranch to be near her daughter and son-in-law. She began once again to make new friends and found a new church home at St. Andrew United Methodist Church where she attended Disciple Classes and senior lunches to continue her spiritual growth. With assistance from dear friends, she continued to board the shuttle bus to church every Sunday.
Winifred is loved by her daughter, Beverly Young of Castle Rock, her favorite son-in-law Jim, her granddog, Sadie, and a host of friends the world over! She is an inspiration to all who crossed her path by her faith, courage, love, and of course her great sense of humor, her positive spirit, and quiet determination.

Lynette Elizabeth Lobb [05/30/1944 - 04/14/2013]
Lobb, Lynette (Lynn) Elizabeth Olsen, passed to the loving arms of our Lord April 14, 2013. Lynn was a loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. She was a kind and compassionate person who loved people. Looking down on others was not her way. She was a very good organizer and a strict rule-follower and was always fair. She eagerly shared her knowledge with others and was very patient in teaching them. Her wonderful sense of humor easily made folks laugh, but never at someone elses expense. Lynn was loved by many and inspired many.
Lynn was born to Edward W. and Lynette C. (Lobb) Olsen in Columbus, OH and was raised in Englewood and Littleton, CO, attending schools in both. She graduated from Littleton High School in the class of 1962. She attended the University of Colorado for two years. After working a few years as a secretary, she was married to Al Johnson and raised their four children in Arvada, CO. In 1999, she began a twelve-year career at the American Water Works Association. She married Del Lobb, II in 2000, with whom she lived in Littleton, CO until her death.
Lynn had many interests and enjoyed learning new things. She was undaunted by new technology and she was not half-hearted about her interests. She enjoyed traveling, especially visiting national parks and lighthouses. She collected miniature lighthouse replicas and knick knacks and clothing having lighthouse designs. Lynn loved working puzzles, particularly crossword and Sudoku. Listening to country music, going to plays at Heritage Music Hall, and attending Celtic music gatherings were among some of her favorite activities. She took great pride in her jewelry and made annual visits to the stock show to discover new southwestern style jewelry. Very important to her was seeing family and friends. Attending church was central to her and her faith in God was strong. Recently many family and friends have echoed the fact that they have not seen Lynn more happy than during the last 13 years of her life that she has spent with her husband, and self-proclaimed, love of my life, Del.
Lynn is survived by her loving husband, Del Lobb, II, of Littleton, CO, sons Andy (Lori) Johnson and Dave (Ginny) Johnson of Arvada, CO and Gary Johnson of Westminster, CO, daughter Connie Johnson of Houston, TX, step-sons Del (Cheryl) Lobb, III, of Columbia, MO and Dan (Jen) Lobb, of Centennial, CO, step-daughters Debbie (Lance) Wendt, of Littleton, CO and Donna Lobb of Lakewood, CO, two grandchildren Drew and Austin Johnson, eight step-grandchildren Zach, Lyndell and Josh Wendt, Cayden, Gabriella, Jacob, Kelsey and Patrick Lobb. Lynn is also survived by her siblings, brother Ed C. (Marti) Olsen, of Littleton, CO, sisters Carolyn Parks, of Tulsa, OK and Cheri (Tom) Robinette, of Folsom, CA.

Jackie's unwavering faith in God and her undying devotion to her family could be felt and seen in every aspect of Jackie's life.
Jackie leaves her legacy with one brother, Terrence K. Holm of Henderson, NV, with the 19 years she spent with Roger C. Merry and the three children that they had together, Rachael M. Merry (Danielle Love) of Garnavillo, IA, Catherine T. Merry (Dan) Check of Wausau, WI, and Andrea B. Merry (Larry) Rineck of Boyceville, WI, and also with her husband of 23 years, John T.

Jacqueline's love and kindness resounds with her 10 grandchildren, Austyn, J.T. and Tyler Nash; Preston and Colton Nash; Madeline, Lydia and Gwenyth Check; and Jack (named after his grandmother) and Lillian Rineck.
Jackie also leaves a legacy with the many veterans that are a part of Combat Veterans Cowboy Up, a non-profit organization that she and her husband, John, founded in 2006.
