Obituary for Lolita M. Wick
Lolita M. Wick.
A very private, independent and complicated woman started this new journey just four days shy of her 94th birthday.
She lived her life on her own terms, sometimes to her detriment but her way.
Up to last summer, she cared for her home, yard and neighbors independently. Summers found her in her yard, cutting trees, and brush and dragging it down the street. Winter, she would still shovel the snow she loved. She walked or took the bus everywhere, she never drove a car. She worked into her mid 70’s until she found a volunteer mission of her dreams. Her joy was Animal Dreams, a cat rescue run by her friend Yvonne. She would help find and capture feral cats to be given shots and neutered before releasing back into the wild. She loved working at the “store” and helping with fundraising…anything.
She LOVED cats, always had at least one “inside” cat who she would spoil. She fed stray cats and other wild things outside.
She enjoyed helping her neighbors and they enjoyed helping her, Lucy, Gizelle, Lauren and her dear friends Joan and Tom.
She continued to be involved with her 1944 high school class.
She did travel, once to Mexico with friends, once to Alaska in her 80’s with Kathy and friends from MA and Georgia. Years ago, she spent many winters in Arkansas with her husband Fred and his daughter Robin.
She loved the live theater and classical music. Annual trips with family to Tanglewood and the Colonial were highlights of her days. Holidays and trips to her “grands” were encouraged and sometimes she even went. She enjoyed eating “out” with her nephew Jack and his wife Jean…and her neighbors, as well as Kathy. There was always the “fight” about who would pay…always made “the face” when she wasn’t “allowed”.
She had some very hard years, hard times, made SOME decisions that became regrets….yet she had many good times and ALWAYS chose her own path.
May she rest in Jesus Love.
