DAVIS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

Robert Taggart, 84, of Houston, died Sunday in Houston. He’s come home to Dewey where his surviving family live and his beloved wife Mickey was laid to rest.

Robert - or Bob as he was known - was born the son of Wesley James and Mattie Ellen (Gaskill) Taggart on June 3, 1934, at the family farm in Wann, OK. Bob was raised in the area, attending and graduating from Wann High School in 1952. Bob served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict, from 1953–1955. Once honorably discharged he furthered his education receiving a Bachelor’s degree from Tulsa University and served in the Army Reserve for several years. Bob met the love of his life Mildred “Mickey” May Tims in Dewey and they were united in marriage.

Bob was an auditor by profession and worked for many companies including Phillips, Montgomery Wards and many others. His work took him and Mickey to live in many different states until they settled down in Houston. At that time they started a bulk mail business and had many clients who depended on their services and meticulous attention to detail to reach their many customers. After 40 years of loving marriage Mickey preceded him in death on September 1, 1995.

Bob always considered Dewey home and visited his family often. He loved politics and always watched Fox News. When he wasn’t working he enjoyed spending time with friends, having coffee and going out to eat.

Bob is survived by his sister Daisy Hodges of Dewey, sister in law Margaret Taggart of Copan, four nieces and seven nephews who he was very fond of.

He is preceded in death by his parents, wife, three brothers, William H. Taggart, Floyd Taggart and John Taggart, and one sister Hattie Palmer.

Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home – Dewey Chapel.
