Obituary of Lois Addleman, 91

Lois M. Addleman, 91, of Centre Hall, passed away on Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at the Hearthside Rehab and Nursing Center in State College. Born September 10, 1925, in Linden Hall, she was the daughter of the late Fred W. and Margaretta C. (Rockey) Horner. She married Richard T. Addleman on June 15, 1947. Richard passed away on November 19, 1971.

In the years following her husband’s passing, Lois worked at various places to support her family. She retired from Penn State in 1990 after 10 years of service.

Lois enjoyed cooking and baking and faithfully prepared a big Sunday dinner for the whole family each week. Some of the family favorites were her fried chicken and homemade noodles. Lois loved having family around and her cooking was always an incentive to bring the family together.

Lois attended the Mt. Nittany United Methodist Church in State College. Every year, she looked forward to the end of Summer because it meant it was time for the Centre County Grange Fair. She loved attending the Fair, catching up with friends and family, and enjoying some of the once-a-year foods that she only got to indulge in there.

Lois is survived by three sons: Richard T. “Tom” Addleman, Jr., and his wife Janet; Charles A. “Chuck” Addleman, and Larry F. “Red” Addleman and his wife Holly, all of Centre Hall; and three daughters, Joan L. Lassman and her husband, Richard, of State College, Jean A. Covalt of Zion, and Judy A. Poponak and her husband, Larry, of Bellefonte. Also surviving are 12 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and numerous great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents and husband, Lois was preceded in death by a son, Alan M. Addleman, three brothers, four sisters, and two grandchildren. Lois was the last of her generation.
