Lola Taggart's Obituary
Memorial Graveside Services for Lola Taggart, age 92, of O'Neill, will be at 10:00 A.M., Saturday, April 23, 2016, at the O'Neill Calvary Cemetery.
A Memorial Visitation will be from 5-7 P.M, Friday, April 22, 2016, at Biglin's Mortuary in O'Neill. Lola passed away Monday night, April 18, 2016, at Avera St. Anthony's Hospital in O'Neill.
Memorials may be made to the family for future designation.
Lola was born on April 10, 1924, in Plainview, NE, to Charles and Lula (Shoemaker) Wright. She attended country school before graduating from Chambers High School. On December 31, 1948, Lola married Jack Taggart in Red Lake Falls, MN. To this union, one daughter, Shirley, was born.
Lola and Jack moved about Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska throughout the early part of their marriage until moving to Chambers where they purchased her family farm and were there from 1960 to 1978 when they retired. After retiring, they traveled throughout the country in their motor home for 2 years before settling and buying Jack's aunt's family home in Creighton, NE. They enjoyed entertaining friends and bowling between fishing trips until moving to O'Neill in 1999 to be closer to their daughter Shirley and her family. She loved watching her grandson Ryan play ball and talking Nebraska sports.
After Jack's death in 1999, she needed something to do and began working as a green thumb worker at St. Anthony's Hospital and later became employed by social services to coordinate the volunteers and to greet and direct people to different departments while the hospital was undergoing renovation. She helped families while waiting for surgery patients, and she enjoyed helping others in anyway needed.
She retired from working there in 2010 at 86 years of age.
She is survived by her daughter, Shirley Hickey and husband Tom of O'Neill, NE, and one grandson, Ryan Hickey of Denver, CO.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jack, her parents, brother Lyle and wife Mary Wright, infant brother Delbert Wright, and sister Lucille Elkins.
She will be greatly missed as a loving mother, grandmother and friend.
