Lola L. (Cotten) Lone, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, passed away peacefully on June 13, 2019 in Longmont, Colorado. She was born April 25, 1937 in Paonia, Colorado to the late Loal and Lillie May (Hawkins) Cotten.
Lola grew up in Paonia and Englewood, Colorado and graduated from Englewood High School in 1955. She was active in music at EHS and was also a Cadet member of the Civil Air Patrol. After graduation in 1955, she married her high school sweetheart, Richard “Dick” Lone on July 24, 1955. Lola and Dick were very active members of the Jaycees before moving to Erie, Colorado in 1972. Lola had several occupations throughout her life, usually related to her passion for sewing. She was very involved in the school Booster Club and Band Parents. In 1984, she and Dick purchased “All-West Trophies” and ran the business out of their garage, eventually growing to a store-front location in Lafayette, Colorado. They operated the business until Dick’s death in 2008.
Lola then moved to Littleton, Colorado to live with her widowed sister, Lois. They always claimed to be “two peas in a pod” and spent the next 10 years supporting each other and traveling extensively. In late 2018, Lola’s health deteriorated and she spent her final days at her son’s (Brad) home in Longmont, Colorado.
Lola is survived by a host of family that includes her two sons, Brad (Becky) Lone of Longmont, CO and Bart (Jeanette) Lone of Grand Lake, CO; three grandsons, Shawn (Donna) Bottema of Rapid City, SD; Jason Lone and Brandon Lone of Fort Knox, KY; three great-grandchildren, Parker, Bode and Jenner Bottema of Rapid City, SD; two sisters Lois (Cotten) Thirsk of Littleton, CO; Ruth (Cotten) Bowers of Houston, TX; as well as many wonderful nieces, nephews and friends.
Lola was preceded in death by her husband, Dick of Lafayette, CO; and infant daughter, Caryn.
By Lola’s wishes, she was cremated. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Longmont Moose Lodge, 2200 Pratt St., Longmont, CO 80501, on July 20 from 1pm to 4pm. Please visit howemortuary.com to share personal condolences.
