Lois Sklar

Lois Sklar (née Ehrhart) was an amazing mother (and grandma) not only to her biological family, but to many throughout the world. She has gone to God at the age of 91.   Famed for her cookies, her lack of nonsense, and wise advice, she will be missed by good people in Moscow, Oxford, Rhode Island, Vermont, Ohio, California,Pennsylvania, Wisconsin – and her beloved Evergreen Park.   There she lived for over sixty years, opening her heart and her home - with Boris, her loving and great-spirited husband (d.2004).   Her daughters, Susanne and Lauri, her son Greg Sklar, his wife Cindy, her excellent grandchildren Alexander and Alyssa – are especially blessed by her strength and her goodness – as are her baby brother, Gordon Ehrhart (aged 86), her godson Don Ehrhart, her nephew Billy Sklar - and her good friend, Becky Simon.  Her wake will be at Kosary Funeral Home, 9837 S. Kedzie (Evergreen Park) on Wednesday, February 14th from 2 – 9 p.m.  Her funeral - at the church she loved, Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church, 9401 S.
