Janet Taggett

Janet L. Taggett of Caro, age 77, passed away on Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at Covenant Health Care - Harrison in Saginaw, following a courageous battle with cancer. She was born July 8, 1937 in Caro, the daughter of the late Howard and Leona (Honold) Holdburg. Janet graduated from Caro High School, and later worked for the school district for over forty years, first as a bus driver, and later as transportation secretary. She was united in marriage with Gene Taggett on March 22, 1958 at the Caro Methodist Church, and he preceded her in death on July 5, 2011. Janet was a woman that could do almost anything she set her mind to. Her ability to fix a car or tractor was only surpassed by her famous chocolate chip cookies. Her talent in baking and gardening ensured that no guest to her home left empty-handed. Janet was a member of the Caro United Methodist Church. Janet is survived by two sons, Gregg Taggett and his friend, Dawn, of Caro, Gil Taggett and his friend, Allison, of Cleveland, Ohio; two grandchildren; her siblings, Norris Holdburg of Cass City, and Lorna (George) Gray of Vassar; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, Janet was preceded in death by one sister, Joan Fader.
