Maureen (my nan) was such a character with the best belly laugh ever she used to roar with laughter! nothing ever got past her and she loved a freebie! she had a heart of gold and would often go without or with less so those around her had everything they needed especially her family. she made sure no one wanted for nothing. There wasn't anywhere we could go without someone knowing nan and her having to stand chatting for what seemed like forever. she was well loved by every one who knew her. One in a million definitely never find another one like her.

It is with great sorrow that we share news of the death of James E. Lockhart, our loving son, brother and friend who died September 13, 2022 at his Norman, OK home, after a brief illness.
James was born August 14, 1972 in Fort Worth, Texas, living in Arlington with his parents and sisters though completion of his kindergarten year. The family moved to Norman, Oklahoma when James started first grade and he remained a lifelong Norman resident, with brief periods of residence in Boulder, Salt Lake City, and San Marcos. James loved music, OU and Dallas Cowboys football, NASCAR, outdoor adventures, travelling the US and sharing new experiences, but he always returned home to Norman. After graduation from Norman High School, he became a certified security specialist, trained in event safety management and high-profile personal security, working hundreds of music and other events for prominent clients around the U.S. He also had long term positions with Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah and Alamon Telecom SW region in Texas.
James was devoted to his family, his dogs and many close friends, but considered his role as 'Uncle' to be his most-rewarding priority. Family was the most important thing in the world to James and he fiercely protected his family members and those close friendships he considered to be family. Lucky recipients of one of his famous hugs knew just how much he treasured and loved them. To say. 'James will be missed by many' is a painfully inadequate statement.
James is survived by his mother Paula Lockhart of Murphy, TX; his sisters Betty Nieczyporowicz (Leon) of Plano, TX, Susan Davis (Roy) of Plano, TX, and Janice Roy (Brett) of Flower Mound, TX; his nieces Haley Davis, Noel Nieczyporowicz and Kara Nieczyporowicz, and his nephews Kyle Davis and Victor Nieczyporowicz; and his sweet dog Dasher. He is preceded in death by his father, Ron Lockhart, his grandparents, and his beloved dogs, Chili and George.
In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested donations to Second Chance Animal Sanctuary of Norman, OK.

Dear Friends,
Please use this forum to share your memories, photos and stories of James with us and each other. He was an honorable man who taught us to persevere through the most brutal of life's moments, even when the road ahead was dark and the sunshine/hope was difficult to see. James was always searching for that sunshine, he never gave up. His message to us today would be that we love and cherish each other, never ever get so discouraged that we give up, and work together to build new friendships with each other to find our sunshine. We will be visiting this site often to share new photos, videos and stories and keeping the memory of James alive. This may have been God's timing, but James was not done caring for us, and we still had many plans left in our hearts for him.
Love and warmest thanks,
Paula, Betty, Susan, Janice and the entire Lockhart family.

Footnote: Enjoy the music attached....this is a short list of a very long amount of James's favorites that I started with. Please feel free to attach your own songs that were the soundtrack to your best times with James. I know he's excited to see what you'll choose to share. Betty

Born Maria Teresa Coniglio in Ferentino nr. Naples Maria's (known as Teresa) mother(Gioviana Calciolotti) died when she was very young so she never remembered her birth mother. Her elder brother vaguely remembered the 2 of them following a hearse.
Maria's father married again and in early 50's came to England(Burnley) with a younger sibling where a number of Italians settled. Maria (I'll call her Teresa from now on) faced going to school knowing no English with no support but she overcame this , the first of many setbacks and suffering in her life.
Teresa had 3 more siblings born in Burnley, her father worked initially in the coal mines but then became a Grocer with a Italian delicatessen shop and a mobile van. Teresa progressed at Junior school at St Johns Catholic school then went on to St Hildas Secondary school, being taught by Nuns, who she loved later in life had friendships with the Sisters of Mercy in Swanley.
A very major setback for Teresa came at age 16 when after suffering severe headaches a brain tumour was diagnosed and Teresa underwent surgery in Manchester remaining in a coma for 6 weeks then for many weeks having to learn to walk and talk again at home. Having to undergo radiotherapy losing her hair and having to have a wig.
Her sister recalled Teresa singing "someday my prince will come" as she was recovering in bed.
It seems that I was her "prince" being her 1st and my 1st love!
Eventually, Teresa battled and recovered to go to work at Smith and Nephew textile mill, which is where I met the love of my life. My father died shortly after I met Teresa, so she never saw him.
She had to have regular hospital check ups but this did not bother her, she invited me home and I met the family Coniglio, her 2 brothers and 3 sisters. In the back room of the shop, i had my 1st taste of real spaghetti bolognese, antipasti olives(which I don't like) and chianti wine.
We started "courting" which involved having Teresa's sister chaperoning us on the 1st couple of dates, going dancing at the Mecca Burnley, Teresa loved rock and roll and the Twist, and drinking Babycham, I used to walk home from Burnley to Barrowford, about 5 miles late at night.
We clicked Teresa telling her sister how excited she was, and soon engaged in 1967. I was over the moon, she was beautiful , although because of the tumour op, she couldn't read or write very well, but her radiant smile and her total love was so nice.
We married on 9 Nov 1968, a double ceremony with her sister Gina getting married at the same time at St. Johns church Ivy St Burnley.
No money for a honeymoon, a couple of months earlier we got a mortgage on a terraced house in Brierfield very near work, £950! Did some decorating, put a new window in and carried on working, 9 months later almost to the day our 1st daughter Christine was born, Teresa and me both so happy.
Teresa had some maternity leave I went back to work after a week off.. Disposable nappies not heard off, Terry ones needing a boil wash after a soak in napisan Teresa was had her hands full but she was a good mother, bottle feeds were the order.
It was when Christine was 6 mths old we decided to move to Burton on Trent for better work. Teresa spent 4 weeks looking after Christine while I was working coming back to Brierfield at weekends before she joined me taking Christine herself on the train i met her at BoT station.
In Feb 1972 daughter Jackie was born, I remember just missing her birth by about 20 mins as Teresa had been in 1st stage labour in the evening, I went home to see to Christine as my mum was there and I overslept trying to get to hospital but Jackie was born at 840am.
So Teresa and I had 2 lovely daughters, Teresa was a good mother, raising them in a Catholic household.
Due to work being uncertain, we decided to move back to Lancashire Teresa coped so well with the move. She was doing well considering all the upset and was so happy with her family. She did some evening work serving meals at a nightclub in Burnley and I was working for the council.
But money was very tight and we had to move again to Rossendale though I kept my job. I did some part time minicabbing for extra money, highlight of which was taking Bill Roache aka Ken Barlow from Preston theatre to his home in Rossendale!
I had a good job offer in Kent so we decided to make the move to Swanley in 1980 to a brand new Council house. Teresa got on well there, made friends with neighbours and took children to school making friends the the nuns at the convent. She started making things with pegs and also sewing covering metal bins with furry fabric and putting eyes nose and mouth on them all her own idea. She even sent a wishing well to Prince Charles and Princess Diana on their wedding, we got a nice letter back from the Palace!
Teresa was very happy for years here loving going to the market, getting material and foam for her sewing, while I was at work, going in the cafe for sausage chips and beans her fav meal!
We had some nice holidays, the best being in '96 to Perth Australia seeing Teresa's elder brother and also 2 sibling sisters all moved out there. Around this time she was becoming unsteady on her feet, having a couple of falls so her bro hired a wheelchair for her. But she was always positive never complaining.
Teresa was very happy at the wedding of Jackie and Owen in '97 and at the birth of a grandaughter Nicole.
in '98 Teresa suffered a bad fall at home and ended up in the air ambulance from hospital in Dartford to the Nat Orthopedic in Stanmore having to have a Halo brace clamped to her skull for 12 weeks after fracturing her C1 vertabra. It looked and I'm sure felt horrible but she kept smiling. I had a short time off looking after her but it was when I returned to work that Teresa went next door and fell on their patio, breaking her left hip, had to undergo surgery and then suffered an embolism was rushed into ICU on the brink, but pulled through and eventually ended up back home with mobility issues. I took 6 mths off work to look after her and then took a part time job with NHS logistics with some weekend work at a garage to get some money in. Then getting a job with Dartford council which I hated. I got a job with Gravesham Council as Warden for the elderly with a flat went with the job and as Teresa was having increasing mobility issues decided to sell up and move where I could be with her more.
I was quite happy in my new job, Teresa could mix in with the social activities, Bingo, sing songs, I started with a singing group, things were going well. Then my dear sister died, and shortly after her funeral in 2002, Teresa suffered a mini stroke, but recovered quite quickly using a zimmer frame for support and a i got her a scooter which went with us on holidays.
Teresa was ALWAYS positive and despite her suffering never complained.
Then in 2004, whilst IN hospital for severe constipation Teresa had a massive stroke, losing her speech, her mobility and part swallowing. She tried fighting back doing her best in physio but couldn't regain her speech, this was the saddest thing. She never regained her speech and had swallowing problems initially having a peg feed which got infected having an emergency op--then I got pureed foods which she had for the rest of her life. in 2005 Teresa really enjoyed the wedding of Christine and Mark and having a grandson.
Despite all her sufferings, Teresa was always a positive, loving, kind, caring, beautiful woman. Smiling at every opportunity. I had to cease my job to look after her which I enjoyed. We had carers coming in for her morning personal care, Crossroads carer taking Teresa out shopping she liked clothes shopping!
We had sev holidays and with the help of a motability wheelchair vehicle managed to get out and about and Teresa despite her disabilities remained positive.
Teresa had a couple of spells in hospital with UTI's which could knock her back but she fought and even though she had to hoisted and wheeled everywhere never complained.
Gradually dementia was creeping up on her. this was diagnosed following a scan in 2020 -not seeing people during the pandemic didn't help. Another week in hospital in Sept 2021 with a UTI resulted in a palleative homecare plan being arranged, with carers 3 times a day and a hospital bed. I refused to give in and got her up sitting in a chair, although she had a fall catching her eye on the side of the bed because it hadn't been removed.. Fortunately she suffered a swollen eye lid but I suspect this increased the dementia.
Teresa had some days out but was increasingly not eating and drinking sufficiently but enjoyed her 76th birthday.
Sadly in the last 2 weeks of July '22 she ceased eating and drinking I was trying to give her fluids with a syringe - we had district nurses in during day and night but on 27 July at 520am after severe gasping for breath, with her 2 daughters and me at her bedside, Teresa passed into The Lord's care.
Rest in Peace beautiful kind caring loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend, your sufferings are over, we all miss you terribly and love you until the end of time.

On the afternoon of Thursday, August 25, 2022, Rosemarie Palomo Hasan fought her last battle with breast cancer after a diagnosis in March 2020. The last couple of years were an emotional rollercoaster, but nevertheless, she remained extremely optimistic, and as always, lived to make life full of colorful experiences. Even still, as her prognosis worsened, she took care of herself, her husband, and two children. `

Rose was the hub of her family, coordinating her and Hakim's work and workouts, with Yohannes and Ari's school, and sports activities, while maintaining balance with social time with friends and family in person or on zoom calls. She would often randomly check in with loved ones by phone or text whether she was in the States or abroad. It is her genuine love, kindness, and caring spirit we will all miss and hope to still feel her light. But, we will always remember her voice. She had the voice of an angel. Now our Rose has her wings.

Please consider supporting Hakim, Yohannes, and Ari, by donating what you can as they transition their lives without her. The amount raised will help with a celebration of life befitting of Rose's love and laughter and help to support Hakim and their children's futures. Please feel free to share this post with those who knew and loved Rose.
