Hauselman, Lois has left a legacy of a thousand best friends from kindergarten through Sullivan High, University of Wisconsin, and beyond. Lois was a copywriter, tour guide, writer, editor ("Other Voices"), artist, tennis player, choir member, runner, and biker. She was the first woman president...
Read MoreLois was one of my first writing mentors. Always encouraging, always loving. She invited me to her home with a few relatives and friends, taking nuts and olives and crackers from the cabinets to create a makeshift hors doeurve table, treating me as if she'd known me all her life when we'd met only a few times. I just learned of her death today and I cry for her family and myself at the loss.

This is crushing. Lois was larger than life itself. The best tennis player (I could never beat her). The best writer (and the most supportive of other writers). The funniest person in the room (Could make me cry, so funny was she). The most human person in the room (She knew; she just knew). The most compassionate. The most understanding. I haven't seen her in decades since I moved away from Chicago but she looms large as Important People in My Life. This is crushing. Love to her...

I loved Lois so much. Even in my first moments of knowing her, she never treated me as a stranger. She was the kindest soul. I miss her dearly.

Sorry to have read of Lois Hauselmans passing. She was the editor of and one of the founders of OTHER VOICES magazine...an outstanding magazine for short story writers and may still be in circulation. When I had aspirations to write she actually met with me as a tutor of sorts. I still may pull off a novel - the last one ... well ...give me above average marks for trying. Dan U.

Lois was a fabulous artist and friend. Fond memories of painting with her, getting together for lunch, or visiting in FL. I'm so fortunate that our paths crossed. My deepest sympathy, Marty and family.
