Lillian Elizabeth Erbes

Lillian Elizabeth (Kaiser) Erbes passed away on Thursday, September 5, 2019, at the age of 92. She was born in Windsor, Colorado, to Henry and Elizabeth Kaiser (Kindsfather), and was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Walter, as well as three siblings, infant Lillian, Theodore Kaiser and Elsie Heckman. She leaves behind two sons, Walter, Jr. (Pamela) and Gary Alan (Linda), four grandchildren, Lisa Osborne (Curt), Robert Rex Erbes, Andrea Vest (Dan) and Jason Erbes (Jessica), five great-grandsons, Brayden, Carter, Jaxon, Matix and Riley; several beloved nieces and nephews. Lillian was born on July 22, 1927, and was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Windsor, Colorado. She graduated from Windsor High School in 1945, where she was a top student. She and Walt were married on June 23, 1946.

Lillian lived a life of steadfast faith and humble service. She worked side-by-side with her husband for many years in the business they owned together, Acme Office Equipment. While raising two active boys, she was involved with the Boy Scout Troop and PTA, as well as their numerous sports and school events. She was a caring daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor and friend.

After her husband’s death, Lillian accelerated her service to others, especially through the Northglenn Seniors Organization (NSO), which she and Walt had enjoyed together. She served the NSO in various capacities as an officer, and she especially enjoyed celebrating the life of others through the monthly birthday parties that she helped organize.

Throughout her life, she was devoted to her Savior and to Faith Lutheran Church, where she was a member for over 65 years. She faithfully taught Sunday School and served as a greeter, Mission Circle and LWML member, shut-in visitor and in several other ways. She was an inspiration to many and will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
