To the family of Lois: thoughts and prayers will all of you. May the memories of your mom, grandmother, sister; bring you many smiles.
To the entire Hart family and friends, I extend my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of working with both Lois and Bob for many years at Sunnen and I honestly can say I’m not sure I have ever met a nicer couple in all my life. Heaven has gained the most precious angel with the purest heart!!!! Rest in Peace sweet Lois, you will be missed my many.
Prayers to Bob and the entire Hart Family. I can still see Lois sitting at that desk in the lobby at SUNNEN when I started there in 1983. I remember telling my Mom on the day of my interview how sweet she was, she never changed, always sweet and pleasant. Heaven is receiving one of their sweet angels back, they don’t make them like her anymore. Rest in Peace Lois. Prayers to the entire family, she will be missed.
Our condolences to Bob and family. I always loved seeing Lois at Sunnen and at the picnics. Such a sweetheart. She will be deeply missed
If St. Peter needs a break, Lois would be a welcome sight at the entrance to Heaven.
Just one really wonderful LADY.
Grace and peace to all the family..
Our sympathies to Bob and the family. We were close cousins and shared many happy childhood days. Lois Ann will be missed by many. God bless. Cousin Lonnie
My deepest sympathy to Bob and your entire family. Loisa was the sweetest lady with the best laugh ever! God bless!
What a sweetheart. Many years a neighbor and can picture the 2 Hart’s license plate and Bob giving short honk each time he left his love to head to work. So very sad that she has left us.
God bless Lois. She and Bob were the best!!
My heart breaks for your family and your loss. I worked with both Lois and Bob for many years and Lois was known for her unending kindness and smiles. My condolences for your loss.
It was never talked about, but I believe Bob and Lois were the reason I got my job at Sunnen. They are two of the nicest people you could ever know. My sympathy to Bob and their family. Heaven just received a real treasure.
Lois was one of my favorite neighbors growing up. Her and Bob always had special treats for my oldest son on halloween and a little something at christmas. She will be deeply missed.
We all know Lois will be missed by many. My wife and I only got to see them at our special vacation place, Lahaina Inn, in Ft. Myers beach, FL. It was always a pleasure and we had many wonderful conversations together. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob and the rest of the family. God is getting another angel.
