Louise Kathleen Hart's Obituary
Louise Kathleen Hart
Off To The Beach
Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and Friend to many, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on September 21st, 2008, after a short and courageous battle with cancer. Louise's love of family, animals, travel, Beta Sigma Phi sorority sisters and times spent at the beach were the joys in her life. Her endless energy and zest for life was evident in her bright smile and in the compassion she showed others. Louise was actively involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren and her love pats will be greatly missed. Louise was born in Napa, California on May 14th, 1944 and was raised in Vallejo where she attended St. Vincent's High School and graduated from City University in 1995. Louise moved to Tacoma in 1975 to raise her four children and was an active member of Visitation Catholic Church and School. Louise worked for 30 years in the Insurance Industry and later obtained her real estate license. Louise was proceeded in death by her parents, Everett and Kathleen Hart, her sisters Helen and Alice Dizon, her life long friend Mary Boardway, her son-in-law, Dennis Hoefer and her beloved dog, Buddy. Louise leaves behind her loving children, Lee Hedrick and Karen, Mary (Hedrick) Schwartz and Gary, Kelly (Hedrick) and Steven Lawrence, Cecilia (Hedrick) Hoefer, Michael Swirczynski, along with her 9 grandchildren- Jordan, Mackenzie, Brianna, Emily, Taylor, Benjamin, Josephine, Kendall & Camryn.
