Zerelda “Dolly” Hagan went to her eternal rest on Thursday, August 8 at the Heritage at the Colonnade in O’Fallon, IL. Dolly was born January 3, 1928 in St. Louis, MO. During her lifetime, Dolly was the bookkeeper for the family dry cleaning business, bank secretary, and secretary for Normandy School District in St. Louis County, which was her favorite job. She was an active member of Bellefontaine Neighbors United Methodist Church in St. Louis and then Shiloh United Methodist Church.

The family of Mrs. Hagan wishes to thank members of Shiloh UMC for their faithful visits and members of O’Fallon UMC and Skyline Church for providing services for residents. We are forever grateful to the staff of the Heritage for their loving and gentle care of her both during her final years and her transition.
