Evelyn Della Haggerman

Evelyn Della Haggerman, age 89, of Versailles, passed away Saturday, November 9, 2013, at Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City. She was born April 20, 1924, in Sedalia, Missouri, a daughter of the late Glovis and Della (Salyer) Evans. On June 30, 1948, in the state of Nevada, she was united in marriage to Olen Onley Haggerman, who preceded her in death on April 27, 1998. Evelyn became a Christian at a young age. She had a passion for people and doing whatever she could to help them. She was instrumental in developing the Eldon State School, an education program for handicapped children. For many years, Evelyn drove her own station wagon to pick the children up each day for school. Later, she was provided a school bus and continued to pick children up for several years. Evelyn enjoyed wheeling and dealing at the Flea Market in Versailles and made many friends during her 20 years there. She loved going to garage sales, and she was an avid quilter. As her sight began to fail, she continued to quilt by feel. Most of all, she loved and cared for her family, giving extra special attention to her handicapped son, Richard, whom she cared for for 36 years. She is survived by her children, Shirley Sidebottom of Versailles, Missouri, June Rae Wood and husband William of Windsor, Missouri, Lynda Raines of Lake Ozark, Missouri, Ted Haggerman of Raytown, Missouri, Michael Haggerman and wife Patti of Versailles, Missouri, Dan Haggerman, Sr. of Versailles, Missouri and Vickie “Janie” Reinke and husband Ronald of Fortuna, Missouri; twenty-one grandchildren, forty great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren; her sister, Wyoma Smull of Marion, Indiana; and many other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Richard Haggerman, step-sons, Eugene Haggerman, Larry Haggerman and Jerry Haggerman, brother, Junior Evans, sister, Frances Merriott, great-grandsons, Jordan Larson and Mason Wood-Reinke and great-great-granddaughter, Sydney Isabella Rich.
