We celebrate the life, and mourn the passing, of our mom, Lois E. Hobert who died June 27, 2018 at Mercy Hospital, Iowa City, Iowa. Lois resided most of her life on 6th Avenue in Charles City, Iowa.

Lois was born December 12, 1926 in rural Boyd, Iowa to Theodore J. and Ida (Denner) Wilhelms. She lived in Boyd and New Hampton before moving to Charles City. She graduated from Charles City High School in 1944.

While working at Salsbury Laboratories she met Vernon A. Hobert and they married on June 14, 1946 in Charles City, Iowa. Lois and Vernon had three children, to whom they were loving and devoted parents. Lois was a stay at home mom, nurturing and raising the kids until the early 1970's when she returned to work as a secretary to several executives at White Farm Equipment.

When we remember mom we think of a selfless person who professed Jesus Christ as her savior, was consistently of good nature and judgement, and was always loving and encouraging.

Mom was a lifelong member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church. She relished her relationships at church, with her classmates, neighbors on 6th Avenue, and many other friends and relatives. We will be forever thankful for those who enriched her life with their friendship.

Lois is survived by her three children, Mark (Rhonda) Hobert, of Clive, Iowa, Ben (Ann) Hobert of Westwood Hills, Kansas, and Karen (Joe) Taft of Riverside, Iowa; six grandchildren, Meredith (Adam) Reyna, Mallory Hobert, Lyle Gardner, Joan Gardner, Hannah Hobert and Henry Hobert; and one great grandchild, Elizabeth Reyna.

Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon, sister Arlene Menzie, grandchild Ryan Weintz, and many other loved ones.
