She was preceded in death by her husband.

Mrs. Lollar was born in Greenfield on Christmas Day in 1926, to Leonard and Dallas (Scott) Morrison. She was a graduate of Greenfield High School and at the age of 16 pursued higher education at a cosmetology school in Springfield. After graduating she opened a salon in Greenfield. She ran her salon for 10 years before she met and married Charles Freeman Lollar.

She enjoyed many hobbies and had a servant’s heart. She was a cook, a baker, a gardener, bowled in a league and was a talented quilter who won a blue ribbon at the Lamar Fair for her work on a quilt for her granddaughter. She worked as a cosmetologist, cooked at Lamar High School and volunteered as a Pink Lady at the hospital.

She was very proud of her grandchildren and always looked forward to them coming to Lamar for Easter and taking them to the park for the big Easter egg hunts. In the summer, she always took them to VBS at her church, Lamar Christian and then had them come again in August for the fair, where they would often find a way to walk in the parade - a highlight of the weekend. She loved to celebrate their accomplishments and never missed the opportunity, no matter how small, to put their achievements in the newspaper.
