Lola Jean (Triska) Schall was born on September 6, 1940 in Pawnee City Nebraska to Arthur and Amelia "Mollie" (Eichenberger) Triska. She attended school at Pawnee City High School. After graduation, she went to Peru State College for two years and then earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Home Economics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In January 1962, she started teaching Home Economics at York Public schools. On June 13, 1964 she was united in marriage to Edward Dean Schall at the United Methodist Church in Pawnee City. Together they had two daughters, SueAnn and Michelle. In 1968 Lola started teaching sewing classes and selling fabric in their home in York. They moved to the country in 1970 where she continued to teach classes and have a fabric store. In 1972 they opened Countryside Fabrics in downtown York and had that business for 37 years. They expanded from sewing classes and fabric to custom draperies, Bernina sewing machines and quilting.

She was an Officer and organizer of the Czech Club of York. She was a member of P.E.O. and was a leader and member of many other State and local organizations.
Family was one of the most important things to her. She and Ed loved spending time with their kids, grandchildren and a host of friends both near and far. She loved to travel and was able to visit all 50 states. During those trips they enjoyed stopping into antique shops and fabric stores. She was an avid Husker football fan and loved attending the home games and took in several away games with friends and family.
