Lois Hassett Obituary

Lois Jean Hassett, of Hilton Head Island, has died peacefully in her home on April 13, 2020. She was 81 years old. Beloved in her community in Hilton Head, Lois was known for her sense of humor and positive outlook. She would lend an ear to to anyone, often over a cup of coffee. Lois was born in her favorite city, Chicago. It was there that she met her husband, Tom Hassett Sr. In the early 1960's, they moved to New Jersey, where they settled down and had a family, son Tom Jr. and daughter, Dana. Lois was a fashion model, appearing in several magazines. She also kept track of the finances for her husband's company, Tom Hassett designs. In 1991, Tom and Lois moved to Hilton Head, where they surrounded themselves with wonderful friends and neighbors. Lois was beautiful inside and out. Her gracious personality and big smile will be missed.

Lois was such a beautiful person inside and out. I loved to talk with her when we were out walking our dogs. Lois was always so warm and made me feel like we had been friends for a long time, although I had just met her. In life you don't have many opportunities to meet someone like that. I am so glad Lois was a part of my life.

Lois was one of a kindbeautiful physically and in spirit. She was the first person I met when we moved into our neighborhood; her welcome and smile were all I needed to know we'd chosen the perfect place. She was a dream neighbor and a wonderful friend. She will be greatly missed.
