Ellen McGlocklin Taylor

Ellen’s children and family were the pride and joy of her life. The legacy of Ellen’s kind spirit, love of reading, zest for life and passion for travel will live on through them.

Her family moved to Hanover Courthouse, Hanover, VA, when she was a young girl and lived at the historical Hanover Tavern in an apartment. The family moved to Fulton Hill, Richmond, VA, prior to beginning school. Ellen graduated from John Marshall High School.

Ellen began her career working part-time at C&P Telephone as an operator and worked at General Medical Corporation, Solite Corporation, and the Virginia Department of Taxation. She also volunteered with FEMA for several years to help people in need.
