Lois Hatton Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Allen Funeral Home and Crematory on Mar. 29, 2026.
Lois Kathleen Hatton, born February 14, 1938, passed away surrounded by the love of her family. Lois was a devoted wife, nurse, sister, aunt, and a true pillar of her family.

Lois married the love of her life, Joseph Hatton, in 1956, beginning a lifelong partnership built on commitment and devotion. She was the daughter of Everett James Reynolds and Nellie Opal Reynolds McCoy, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by two brothers, Rick Reynolds and Jim Reynolds, and one sister, Martha Johnson.

She is survived by her loving sisters, Sandra Valerio and Deloris Crum (Steve Crum), along with many nieces and nephews who cherished her deeply.

Lois dedicated her life to caring for others. She earned her LPN license in 1967 and later continued her education, receiving her Associate Degree in Nursing and RN degree in 1988 from the University of the State of New York. Her passion for nursing led to a remarkable 36-year career, where she served as the charge nurse of the Medical Progressive Unit. Throughout her career, Lois was respected for her leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her patients and colleagues.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Lois will be remembered most for her strength, kindness, and the steady presence she provided to those who loved her. She was truly a cornerstone of her family, offering wisdom, support, and love to generations.

Visitation will be held Friday, April 3rd at Allen Funeral Home on 4155 South Old State Road 37 in Bloomington, Indiana, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., with funeral services beginning at 2:00 p.m. Following the service, burial will proceed to Clear Creek Cemetery.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
