Lois Jean (Ragsdale) Sarten, 64, of Kansas, OK passed away peacefully in her home on May 01, 2020 with Dewayne, her beloved husband of 48 years, at her side. Lois was born January 2, 1956 in Pryor, OK. She grew up in Teresita, OK and attended Oaks Indian Mission School. She married Dewayne in 1972 and they made their home in Kansas, OK where Lois was a homemaker. Some of her favorite things included OU Sooner football, sitting at the kitchen table while shooting the breeze with company, playing Pitch, and enjoying wild onions, morel mushrooms, and poke that was foraged from their property. She loved watching her flowers bloom and she especially enjoyed the hummingbirds that congregated outside her window. She always made sure their feeders were full, affectionately referring to them as her little piglets. Lois was a straight-shooter and one always knew where they stood with her.
