Estes Valley Community Center

Member Spotlight: Deidra Hues

Deidra Hues has called Estes Park home since 2008. She met her husband, Shawn, while bartending at Time Out and they married in 2013. Hues worked at EPH for thirteen years and in now the patient access rep for UCH Primary Care, as well as being a part-time receptionist at Glow Salon and Spa. Hues is also a stroke survivor. Her doctor believes that two tiny holes in her heart from a birth defect were the cause. Hues commented, “I consider myself extremely lucky because I do not have any long term effects from the stroke. I felt dizzy and fatigued for about a week. After that, I took things slow, listening to my body. I started doing Spin Class with Ryan, then added 15•15•15 with Beth, but it was Megan’s Bust Your Butt that really helped me realize my strength and confidence again”. Hues radiates a positive outlook; she makes a point to spread kindness, and has an attitude of gratitude. She emphasized, “We never know what tomorrow will bring. I thank the Rec Center for getting me back to feeling like myself again”. When Hues isn’t working out at the Rec, she enjoys hiking, game nights, art journaling, live music, and spending time with Shawn and their two cats, Zig and Zag.
