She was born on March 28, 1937 on Easter Sunday. Her parents were Finis Campbell and Bina Bernard Campbell. She married Tassel A. (T.A.) Hargis on April 7, 1956. They lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for several years. After moving back to Kentucky, Lola worked as an aide at both Nancy Elementary and Nancy High School. She also worked for a time at the Pulaski County Library.
Lola was a faithful member of Bradley’s Pleasure Baptist Church. She loved to attend revival meetings and gospel singings all around Pulaski and surrounding counties. She went on several mission trips which include trips to Australia and Belize. She also attended the American Baptist Association convention for many years, until she was unable to do so. She was also very active in her Homemakers club. One of her favorite pastimes was playing the card game Rook.

I was very sorry to hear of Lola’s passing. I had known her for several years. She was always a sweet lady. I enjoyed seeing her at many homemakers’ events which she always seemed to enjoy. Lola was friendly to everyone. To the family you have my sympathy and prayers. Treasure the memories and share with all of the grand, great grand and great great grandchildren.
My condolences to the entire family. Lola was probably one of the first people I met when moving to Pulaski County in 1974. If you were involved in Extension Homemakers or Farm Bureau you knew Lola. She always had a smile on her face, a twinkle in her eye and a story to share. She will be remembered and she will be missed.
