Lois was a dedicated special education leader who always fought for the rights of students. Not only did her knowledge and leadership assist many in the field of education, her humor/wit was enjoyed in all situations.

I'm sorry to hear about Miss Bartlett's passing. I use to landscape her shrubs and beds once a year before I retired and I always would looked forward to talking to her. She was so kind and she loved her yard. There will be a special spot for her in heaven.
