Katie Hildebrand

In Loving Memory of Katie Hildebrand

April 30, 1976 — January 7, 2026

With profound sadness, we share that Katie Hildebrand passed away unexpectedly on January 7, 2026. Born on April 30, 1976, Katie’s life was defined by warmth, generosity, and an effortless ability to turn strangers into friends. She greeted new people as potential companions rather than unknowns, and countless lives were brightened by her welcoming smile and genuine interest in others.

Katie’s compassion was active and unwavering. She devoted herself to feeding neighbors experiencing homelessness—never just offering a meal, but also sitting to chat, listen, and affirm their dignity. Professionally, she found purpose in home health, where caring for others was more than work; it was a calling. Outside of work, Katie delighted in playing with her grandchildren, spending unhurried time with her daughters, cheering at school and sporting events, and jeeping on Colorado trails with her partner. She stood shoulder to shoulder with friends and acquaintances facing medical challenges, terminal illnesses, and crises—often becoming friends in the process. Katie was also a steadfast ally to LGBTQ+ communities and passionate HIV advocate, lending her voice, time, and heart wherever support was needed.

Katie is lovingly survived by her partner, Josh Smith; her parents, Joan & Mark Nelson; her daughters (who she loved “to the moon and back”), Madison Mumaw (28) and Kassie Soto (32); and Kassie’s husband, Andy Soto; her sister, Marni Lyons (nieces Mackenzie & Kaileigh Lyons) . She was the adoring Grandma to Sophia and Greyson, whose laughter and milestones brought her endless joy.

Those who knew Katie will remember her for the way she made you feel—seen, included, and at home. Her legacy lives on in the communities she nurtured, the friends she welcomed, and the family she cherished beyond measure.

Memorial & Donations

In honoring Katie’s wishes, no flowers, please. If you feel moved to give, donations may be made to MADA commissary kitchen (17 N 6th St, Montrose, CO 81401 719-293-5044) or to Oak Grove Elementary School Farm (62100 Oak Grove Rd, Montrose CO 81401 970-249-6867).

Patricia May Dickinson

On the morning of January 7, 2026, Montrose lost an amazing community advocate and remarkable woman when Patricia Dickinson died peacefully at her home at the age of 89.

Tricia was born on September 4, 1936, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada to May (Babcock) and Jack Whittaker. Her childhood was spent in a small British Columbia lumber mill town with three older brothers.

Tricia earned a nursing degree in Vancouver where she met and married Dr. Ted Dickinson in 1958. They were married for 53 years. They began their family and Ted’s surgical practice in Denver and later moved to Montrose in 1971 where they flourished. Realizing they could build the kind of community they wanted to live in, they generously contributed their time and energy to important projects and encouraged others to be civically engaged.

Tricia was incredibly involved in her community. Her political career began as a community member of the City Sign Commission. She found she loved the intricacies of local government. She was elected to the Montrose City Council, served as mayor three times, and represented Montrose in Colorado’s Municipal League for several years. Tricia’s exuberance and savvy made her a life-long community influencer and doer.

Tricia adored music and theatre. Her energy and enthusiasm played a major role in the resurgence and growth of the Magic Circle Players. She acted, directed, supported and served on the Board of Directors. Her passion for community theater and her belief in the actors and herself had her directing crowd favorites and challenging pieces alike. She was a force and that made her a great director.

Tricia was also a compassionate nurse and enjoyed interacting with patients and their families. She served as Montrose County’s Public Health Nurse for many years until starting a private home health care business with partner, Carolyn Goller. They later sold the business to Montrose Memorial Hospital. She also worked for Community Options and was a beloved advocate for its clients.

Tricia had a dynamic personality and used her charm and tenacity to raise funds and build support for positive community actions such as All America City designation, creation of the recycling center, approval to build The Pavilion, construction of the Magic Circle Players theater, Ute Museum renovation, etc. She was on the board of directors of numerous local organizations including Montrose Memorial Hospital, Valley Symphony, Montrose Arts Council, Magic Circle Players, Colorado Mesa University’s Montrose Campus, Colorado Council on the Arts and much more.

Linda B. Hardy

Celebrating a Life Well Lived

In Loving Memory

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Linda B. Hardy, who departed this life on January 4, 2026, at the age of 80 from natural causes at home in Montrose, Colorado. Linda Hardy was born on November 8, 1945, in Springhill, Louisiana, and throughout her years, touched the lives of many with kindness, warmth, and generosity.

Life and Legacy

Linda was known for her unwavering love for family and friends. She spent her life nurturing relationships, offering support, and sharing joy wherever she lived. As is quite common with the boomer generation, Linda moved from place to place until she found the mountains of Colorado and the towns of Aspen and Telluride. It was there she put down roots, raised her family, and built a warm, welcoming home.

Linda worked in many jobs. She was an excellent secretary, and office manager at Le Chefs, and a property manager at Silver King Apartment complex in Aspen for years. In Telluride, she worked for CGY Architects and Mountain Village Construction, each for 4 years, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike. Linda found fulfillment in reading and her children. Her passion was the many pets she owned throughout her life, which brought her humor, patience, love, and sadness.

Family

Linda is survived by her husband of 41 years, James Hardy; her children, Tiffany Osborne, Tara Kramling, James Bakehouse, Tammy Bateman, Skyler Bateman, and grandchildren Brennan and Emily Kramling, John Patrick and Ava Osborne, Asher Bateman, and Dakota Ferguson, and current dogs Cooper and Monty, who will cherish the memories, lessons, and treats she shared. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Ruth Houck.

Remembering Linda B. Hardy

Linda asked that there be no formal service. She wanted her ashes scattered by family in the mountains above Telluride, Colorado — a place she loved with all her heart. All who knew Linda, and those who did not, are invited to honor her by pausing to smile and to appreciate the mountains, grateful for the life she lived.

Though Linda is gone, her kindness and quiet strength remain with us in the memories we share and the lives she shaped.

Joyce Dean (Gilley) Gordon

Joyce Dean (Gilley) Gordon, age 87, of Montrose, Colorado, passed away early Saturday morning, December 27, 2025, at the home of her daughter, Vicki Herbig. During the previous evening, many caring family members and dear friends visited Joyce, sharing their feelings of love, gratitude, and admiration.

Joyce was born April 6, 1938, to Elmer Gilley and Esther Mae (De Shazo) Gilley in Jackson County, Florida. She spent her early years in Florida and later attended school in Mulberry, Arkansas. It was at Mulberry High School where she met her forever sweetheart, William Roger Gordon. Joyce and Bill eloped to California and were married on June 16, 1955, in Dinuba. The couple shared 55 wonderful years together, eventually moving from Oklahoma to Colorado, where they made their home until William’s death in 2010.

Joyce’s father passed away when she was a toddler, and her younger years were defined by hard work, leaving little time for a carefree childhood. Despite this, she possessed an indomitable spirit and rose above those hardships, purposefully choosing to concentrate on the positive aspects of life. While her physical beauty was evident to all, Joyce’s loved ones knew she was even more beautiful on the inside.

A woman of both a sharp mind and a kind heart, Joyce recorded in her Bible that she renewed her commitment to God and Jesus by accepting Christ as her Savior on August 26, 1982. Her hand-written notes share that she was baptized on October 2, 1982. She deeply loved and adored her family, including her children, their spouses, and an ever-growing number of grandchildren. Joyce and Bill were also long-time, committed foster parents, supporting over one hundred youth in their home and embracing them all as family.

She enjoyed many hobbies, such as gardening and caring for animals, but in later years she often shared how much she longed for her sweetheart, Bill. She dearly missed his presence in her life. They are finally together again; a reunion that is bittersweet only for the living. We love and miss them both.

Survivors who feel blessed to have shared their lives with Joyce include her sons: Roger (Eileen) Gordon of Grove, Oklahoma; Kevin (Christie) Gordon of Tulsa, Okla.; and Brian Gordon of Arizona. Her daughters include Vicki Herbig of Montrose; Lisa (Ed) Bryson of Montrose; Mary (Jody) Eli of Denver, Colo.; Daisha (Allen) Darby of Grand Junction, Colo.; and Sharon (David) Dodson and Karen (Don) Harness, both of Tulsa, Okla. She is also survived by her brother, Lawrence Curtis Gilley; 27 grandchildren; 37 great-grandchildren; and 8 great-great-grandchildren. Joyce and Bill shared many special nieces and nephews.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, William; her mother, Esther Mae; her father, Elmer; sister, Juanita Odessa; son, David; daughter, Patty; grandsons, Sheldon and Nicholas; and great-grandson, Elisha.

An interment ceremony is scheduled for family and friends beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Grand View Cemetery, located west of Montrose.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to HopeWest in memory of Joyce Gordon. Donations may be made online at hopewestco.org/donate or mailed to HopeWest, 725 S. 4th Street, Montrose, CO 81401. Arrangements are under the direction of Crippin Funeral Home, Montrose.
