Lia Nicole Hart, age 17, of Wellston, passed away Sunday, August 21, 2016 from injuries received in an automobile accident. She was born June 15, 1999 in Danville, Kentucky to John K. Hart and Esther Dawn Reed Hart.
Lia had just started her junior year at Wellston High School where she was a member and officer of Student Council, the pep club and she ran track. Lia was employed at Michael’s Ice Cream in Jackson. She loved her job and enjoyed fixing those famous “Bubbles” for everyone. Lia was always looking forward to her next adventure. She loved sunrises and sunsets, puppies, babies, fashion and make-up.
Lia was a very forgiving person who could never stay mad at anyone. She loved her family, friends and people in general. As a matter of fact, she hugged all of the other students on her first day of pre-school whether they wanted the hug or not. Lia attended World Outreach Ministries.
She is survived by her parents, John and Esther Dawn Hart of Wellston; sister, Brooklyn Hart of Wellston; grandmothers, Beulah Reed of Wellston and Bernice Hart of Danville, Kentucky; aunts and uncles, Lillian Nicole Reed, David (Darlene) Reed, John (Kelly) Reed, Sandra Brock and Joyce Wiles, along with several cousins and many, many friends.
She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, David Reed and James Hart, and her great-grandparents.
