WASHINGTON — After a long and courageous battle with breast cancer, Lois Elaine (Hunter) Schnarr, 78, of Washington, went to be with her Lord on Saturday. Lois was born Jan. 10, 1934, to the late Herbert and Viola Hunter. She later attended Washington High School and graduated in 1952. On July 8, 1956, Lois married the love of her life, Kenneth Schnarr, and they spent 56 wonderful years together.

In addition to her parents, Lois was preceded in death by one sister, Shirley Joyce Hunter. Survivors include her loving husband, Ralph Kenneth Schnarr; one son, David Schnarr (Lori S.); three daughters, Susan Will (Dale), Diana Fleenor (Mark), and Lisa Hoskin (Glenn); seven grandchildren, Megan Will, Kathryn Will, Rachel Fleenor, Emily Schnarr, Eli Schnarr, Maddie Hoskin and Alexandra Hoskin; two sisters, Maxine Quilliam (Robert) and Marcella Myers (Ralph); and several nieces and nephews.

A family interment will take place at Sugarland Memory Gardens. A funeral dinner will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, 100 E. Walnut St. You may sign the online guest book or view the video tribute at www.gillsince1872.com.

IU still working towards sixth banner
Monday night in Atlanta, Louisville won the school’s first National Championship since the year I was born - 1986. This accomplishment is significant to Indiana basketball fans, because the last two times the Cardinals cut down the nets (1980, 1986), the Hoosiers did it the following year. The stat, of course means nothing, other than both schools had strong programs in the 1980s.
