Stephen Hart Obituary

Stephen Paul Hart, 81, of Lenoir City, TN, passed on Thursday, September 7, 2023, after a courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease. Stephen was born July 2, 1942, in McComb, Ohio to Bernadine and Paul Hart. In 1964, Stephen graduated from the Ohio Northern University. It was there where he met and fell in love with JoAnn, his wife. Stephen and JoAnn were married on July 3, 1965. They were blessed to share 58 years together, full of love, laughter, and countless memories. Together they share a daughter, Alicia, who has been their pride and joy. Stephen was an amateur ham radio operator, a hobby he remained passionate about from the time he obtained his license at the age of 14, throughout the remainder of his life. He enjoyed a successful career at General Motors/EDS, where he worked as a systems analyst for over 30 years. He is survived by his wife, JoAnn; their daughter, Alicia; his sister, Sally; three grandchildren, Katlyn, Jaclyn, & Nicolas; and best friend, Dan. He was preceded in death by his mother Bernadine, father Paul, and beloved German Shepherd, Sam. Stephen will be remembered for the way he loved his family, his loyalty, and witty remarks. The family wishes to thank Click Funeral Home in Lenoir City for handling arrangements. A celebration of Stephen's life will take place at a later date. Stephen was the best husband, father, "pop-pop," brother, uncle, and friend anyone could ask for. We know he is enjoying all the ice cream he could ever dream of now. We love and miss him beyond measure.
