Robert "Bob" Roger Hart

Robert “Bob” Roger Hart, 86, of Lake Charles, LA, was called to his eternal home on Saturday, August 19, 2017.

Mr. Hart was born August 3, 1931 in Donna, TX, and graduated from Donna High School. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Marine Corp during the Korean Conflict and received two purple hearts. After the military he attended the University of Texas before moving to Lake Charles almost sixty years ago. He worked for CITGO for over thirty years, retiring in 1993 as the Superintendant of Warehousing. He was a member of St. Luke-Simpson United Methodist Church, and was a 32nd Degree Mason and a Shriner. Mr. Hart enjoyed playing tennis, gardening, and reading, but his true passion was for his wife and his family. He will be remembered as a huge Longhorns fan and loved Texas.

Mr. Hart is survived by his wife of fifty-eight years, Mifanwy “Wann” Hart of Lake Charles; daughters, Cindy Scott (Rick) of Moss Bluff, Bobbie Gail Swan (Scott) of Houston, TX, and Karla Hunt (Stewart) of Lake Charles; son, Roger Hart (Cindy Stelly) of Denham Springs, LA; sisters, Hazel Anderson (Orin) of Donna, TX, Ann Fields (Lloyd) of Moss Bluff, and Lucille Blackwell (Lynn) of Plano, TX; grandchildren, Mallory Monteith (John), Randy Scott (Megan Bufkin), Bryan Scott, Morgan Swan (Jacob Abels), Mackenzie Swan, Catherine Hunt, Allison Hunt, Olivia Hart, Jackson Hart, and Tyler Hart; and great-grandchildren, Caroline, Barrett and Emma Monteith.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Sue Hart; and sister, Sue Tietje.

His memorial service will be held at 12:00 PM on Thursday, August 24, 2017 at St. Luke Simpson United Methodist Church with military honors. Reverend John Robert Black will officiate. A gathering of family members and friends will be at the church on Thursday from 9:00 AM until the start of the service.

The family would like to thank Lois Murphy for her wonderful care and friendship, along with Brighton Bridge Hospice and Southwest Louisiana War Veteran’s Home.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or to St. Luke Simpson United Methodist Church.
