The Schappert Family sends condolences to you all, Lois' beloved family. We got to know her and Bill while they were living in Colorado Springs and on trips to Crested Butte! What a wonderful lady and friend and we were sorry to hear recently of her passing. It is heartbreaking to lose members of such a great generation! Our love and best to you Bill!

I was a caregiver for Lois in Colorado Springs. I thank the family for listing her obit here. An angel has gone home. If only more people could be like Lois the world would be a more friendly place. I'm glad her last few years were back in NO. She was so happy to return home. I think of her and William daily and miss their smiling faces. God Bless the family and William in this time of loss.

Lois Bartlett was a kind, loving, loyal woman who always had a smile on her face. As my step-mother, I came to know Lois very well and always felt her love and concern.
She was married to my father, Bill, for over 30 years, and she made him a happy, contented man. I am grateful for the love and care she gave to my dad.
She was loved and admired by so many and will be greatly missed.
My prayers are with her family for they were the center of her life.
