Lois Wobst Obituary

Lois Lorraine (Andrews) Wobst April 15, 2021 Lois Lorraine (Andrews) Wobst, 96, of Royal Palm Beach, Florida and former resident of Southampton, NY went home to be with her Lord and Savior on April 15th, 2021. She is predeceased by her husband Hans W. Wobst, son Floyd Wobst, her parents Hershel and Florence Andrews and her three younger siblings. She is survived by a niece and 8 nephews. She was also loved by many great-nieces, great-nephews and close friends. Lois, a native of Scottsbluff, NE, met her future husband, Hans W. Wobst of Southampton, NY while he was stationed at a nearby Army Airfield. Following a brief period they were married April 12th, 1943. World events at the time kept them apart for months before they could begin their life journey. Upon arriving to Southampton, Lois contributed to the village and county in various capacities. Lois became an insurance agent with J. Foster Terry and Company in 1955. She was also an active member of the VFW, a volunteer for the Southampton Ladies Auxiliary and served in the Suffolk County Ladies Auxiliary. Lois was an active member of the Methodist Church, donating her time to various causes and local activities. After 36 years at the insurance agency and decades of community volunteer efforts, Lois retired in 1991. Lois and Hans spent several years vacationing in Florida during the winter months and returning to their Southampton home in the summer. After several years the couple decided to become permanent residents of Florida. At her home in Royal Palm Beach, Lois spent time tatting and crocheting. Lois and Hans loved to travel and after the passing of her husband, Lois continued traveling on regional trips, sea cruises and international destinations. Lois was actively involved with the Royal Palm Beach Connect Church, was a member of the YAH and Forever Young groups. Family was very important to Lois and she returned frequently to Nebraska for holidays, weddings and family reunions. She will be dearly missed by her family. A virtual memorial service will be held on Tuesday, May 4th at 5:00 P.M. Mountain Time. Contact a family member for the link to the service.

I am visiting Florida and was thinking of Mrs. W. I was her neighbor when I was a child and her and Mr. W always babysat my brother and I. My fond memories will always stay close to my heart. From Mr. W´s stuffed animals sitting on the couches to Mrs. W teaching me how to play on the organ. I last visited her in 2016 and I´m devastated I didn´t get to see her one last time. Just wanted to share.
