C O MMUNIT Y CONTINUED FROM 35 Ellum, a great opportunity for fun and fundraising, but involved families like Taylor and her mom hope it will bring greater awareness to the 97-year-old organization. “We want everybody in the DFW area to know their name, because they’ve been around so long,” Taylor said. “To get that ball rolling and create this group has really helped their exposure in the community.” After all, adoption through the agency was a success in their case. “One of the reasons I wanted to get involved — it sounds
cliché — was because I had the world’s best childhood. I had two loving parents … and I feel like I attribute everything to being adopted,” Taylor said. Taylor’s parents were open with her about her adoption from the start. Their family chemistry clearly clicked, and Taylor and Kimberlee work together as realtors with Dave-Perry Miller Real Estate. “She turned out to be very good with people, but she’s also very organized,” Kimberlee said. “She’s more left-brain, and I’m more right-brain.” And that’s just the sort of thing they hope to showcase through the volleyball tourna-

CAROLYN ANN “CA” HAGERMAN (1958-2015)

arolyn Ann “CA” Hagerman died Feb. 19, 2015. CA was born to Clifford B. Hagerman and Betty W. Hagerman in Dallas on May 3, 1958. She was loving, funny, feisty, competitive and athletic. Like her sister, Betty Sue (Hagerman) Welch and her brother, Bobby Hagerman, she loved playing tennis and was actively involved in Special Olympics for many years. One of her prouder moments was in the early 1990s when she and her sister won the Special Olympics state doubles competition after CA hit a winning backhand past two male opponents. While she loved tennis, she also competed in Special Olympics basketball, as well as track and field. CA’s spirit and love for others was effusive; she was not shy and loved to wave to the onlookers whenever she received a medal. In addition to tennis, she took tap dance lessons in the late 1970’s. She even performed a routine in a dance recital, and loved every minute of it. CA loved animals and for many years had a “job” walking neighbors’ dogs around the block. She also worked at Citi-
zens Development Center and at a Black-Eyed Pea Restaurant where she assembled perfectly-arranged salads – she was also a perfectionist! She simply loved being part of the stream of life and connecting with people. Her favorite TV shows were Family Feud, Hogan’s Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. (She would imagine herself as the female star and the leading man, IF he were cute, as her husband!) CA never met a stranger, and she had the remarkable trait of never judging others. She knew what she wanted to do, and what she didn’t want to do, sometimes being a bit feisty to make it
