May 20, 1943 – December 3, 2014
Paulette Bass Taiclet, 71 of Pensacola, Florida, died peacefully on Wednesday, December 3, 2014, after a long battle with Parkinsons. Born May 20, 1943, she was a lifelong resident of Pensacola and graduated in 1961 from Pensacola High School. She was the graphic artist for Gayfers for many years and retired from the Pensacola News Journal as the Art Director.
After retirement, her time was spent in dedication to her loving husband, daughters, stepson and family. Paulette was truly talented and enjoyed drawing, working on pottery and stained glass projects. Her talents also included poetry and sewing. She enjoyed watching and spending time with grandchildren, antiquing, fishing, putting jigsaw puzzles together, playing cards and computer games; there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do once she set her mind to it and her plans were laid out on paper. As a devoted and loving wife, mom, grandmother, aunt and friend, she touched the lives of many. Paulette will be remembered for her towering strength and unselfish love she gave to all that knew her and for her never-ending commitment to her family. She will be dearly missed.
