Barbara Ann was born in Haysville, Indiana to Leo and Amanda (Kieffner) Meyer. She married Robert H. “Bob” Lottes on September 27, 1956, in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Haysville and would have celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on Sunday, September, 27.
Barbara Ann worked at Sakels drive-in, Swift Packing, the Jasper Glove Factory, and Crane Naval Depot before becoming a housewife and homemaker and helping Bob on the farm.
She was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Haysville and their WELCA organization. She served on the church council and played the organ for both English and German services even though she did not speak German.
She was also a member of the VFW Post #673 Auxiliary. She enjoyed her computer, word find, mowing the grass with her snapper mower, and sitting on the front porch keeping an eye on things.
She enjoyed spending time with friends and family, especially her grandchildren, who she always had a candy dish waiting at the back door.
She is survived by her husband, Robert “Bob” Lottes of Loogootee; two sons, Scott Lottes (Mary) and Gregg Lottes (Melanie), both of Loogootee; four grandchildren, Nick Lottes, Brooke Neukam, Joshua Lottes, and Colten Lottes; six great-grandchildren, Jennings Neukam, Gabe Neukam, Eva Neukam, Jake Lottes, Lilly Lottes, Lakyn Lottes, and one on the way, Leo Robert Lottes; one brother, John Meyer (Sandy) of Merritt Island, Fla.
Preceding her in death was one brother, Robert Meyer; and one sister, Dorothy Seitz.
