Obituary: Sheila Taratoot

Sheila Taratoot, 79, passed away peacefully at Northside Hospital in the early morning hours of Aug. 23, after a brief illness.

She was predeceased by her parents, Ben and Bessie Taratoot, and her brothers, Louis and Bernard Taratoot.

Sheila loved to sing and was a member of many of Atlanta’s Jewish choirs over the years. She also loved films and critiquing them. Sheila had multiple jobs but her favorite and most rewarding was her tenure at The Temple, where she served as Executive Assistant to the then Executive Director.

Sheila’s favorite time was spent with her nephews, Stefanie and Brad Taratoot (adult children of the late Bernard Taratoot and Cynthia Taratoot) and Barry and Jeffrey Taratoot (adult children of the late Louis Taratoot and Bunnie Taratoot).

She also cherished her time and trips with her lifelong friend Charlotte Jacobson, who she met in nursery school.
