Taryn Wiemers was born January 6, 1961, in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to William and Dorothy (Ryken) Lawyer.  She grew up in Yankton, South Dakota and spent every summer in Macy, Nebraska, with her “adoptive parents” Willard and Violet Olofson, who spoiled her rotten.  She worked at the Wagon Wheel Steakhouse in Laurel, Nebraska, and then became a truck driver.  She drove truck all over the United States for over 25 years.  She married Gary Wiemers on February 14, 2007.  She later began trucking locally and started TLC Kennels where she loved spending time with and raising dogs.  She then started her own trucking company, Wiemers Trucking Company and also worked part-time for her son.

Taryn was a hardworking, independent woman who could do it all.  She helped remodel all of her children homes and always wanted to stay busy.  She was a stable rock for her family and would help anyone in need.  She loved just being home with a pot of coffee, a dog and a good book.
