Lois was born to Gladys (Novak) and Theodore Anderson on March 20, 1929, and grew up in the Merriam Park neighborhood of St. Paul. She graduated from St. Paul's Central High School in 1946 and continued her education at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. Lois married John Hartmann of Minneapolis on December 17, 1949, and the couple lived in Norfolk, Virginia, and Winona, Minnesota, before settling in Minneapolis, where they had their four kids. They saw their youngest two children into adulthood in a home on Pike Lake in New Brighton, and Lois later lived in Mounds View. During John's years with degenerative Multiple Sclerosis, Lois cared for him while running the household and the family's business, Hartmann Office Products Inc., which was located in Roseville.
