BARTLETT, LOIS MARIE (SKARIN) Denison Bulletin/Review 3/27/2009 Lois Marie Bartlett was born October 14, 1921, the daughter of John and Elsie Bilsten SKARIN. She died at Denison Care Center in Denison, Iowa, at the age of eighty-seven. Lois was born in Schaller, Iowa. She attended rural school in the Kiron area and graduated from Kiron High School in 1939. On October 5, 1940, Lois was united in marriage to Verl G. Bartlett. The couple made their home in Denison and were blessed with the birth of two children, Larry and John. She worked for various families in Denison. She was a very loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who cherished her family. Her hobbies included flower gardening, canning vegetables, and collecting owls and teapots. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and watching them grow up. Some of her fondest memories were letting them help pick strawberries from her garden, letting them choose their favorite tulips to take to school, going on shopping trips uptown, taking them to play at Washington Park, watching them play dress-up in her nightgowns and jewelry, and walking trips to Earl May. She was always ready for them to come to her house and she loved it when they helped themselves to her cookie drawer. In her last year, she enjoyed visits from her grandchildren and great-grandson David. He delighted in giving her rides in her wheelchair to watch the birds in the aviary. She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Denison. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, John and Elsie, and her husband Verl. Survivors include two sons: Larry and his wife Gayle; John and his wife Mary; five grandchildren: Julie, Beth, Kathleen, Brad and Matt; three great-grandchildren: Elizabeth, Marie and David; several nephews and nieces; and many other relatives and friends. A private service was held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, March 16, 2009, at the Huebner Funeral Home in Denison, Iowa. Rev. Alberta Ervin officiated the service and graveside rites held at Oakland Cemetery in Denison. Service music included "How Great Thou Art" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Serving as pallbearers were Kathleen Bartlett, Matt Bartlett, Beth Preul, Julie Ornelas and Brad Bartlett. The Huebner Funeral Home of Denison was in charge of arrangements.
