Lois Hyde Blount

Lois Hyde Blount went to be with Jesus on Sunday, September 19 at her daughter’s home in north Florida with family beside her. She was born in Alexandria Louisiana to Alfred Ray and Erin Hyde. She moved after her father’s death with her mother, to Pompano Beach Florida where she met and married Bruce B. Blount. They had 4 children and moved to Lake Placid in 1963 to buy a larger cattle ranch and raise their family. Lois and Bruce loved the Lord and Lois was best known for her extraordinary talent of playing the piano. She served Jesus for over 60 years by playing for the First Baptist church in Pompano Beach and for 44 years at First Baptist of Lake Placid, with her dearest friend, Dee Dee Stidham. Together they were “quite the team”! She was involved in the community through her ministry and worked 11 years for the Advent hospital. She was the most loving and forgiving mother, grandmother and wife the Lord could bless anyone with!
Lois is survived by three of her four children, Steve Blount (wife Phyllis) of Lake Placid, Allan Blount of Lake Placid, Cheryl Blount Bronson ( husband Stanley), (Dianne Blount Seay passed on) son-in-law, Ben Seay; grandchildren, Kristin Seay of Buckhead, GA, Beth Seay, of Alpharetta, GA, Lauren and Ryan Perry, of Hoschton, GA, Chass and Rick Greiner of Lake Park, Ga, Slade Bronson, of Jennings, FL, Erin Bronson, of Lake Park, Ga, Ryan Blount, of Asheville, NC, Jenna Blount, of Lake Placid, FL, Nicole Blount of Lake Placid, FL; and six great grandchildren.
