Taylor was a native and lifelong resident of Calhoun County and a graduate of Ohatchee High School, then attended Columbia State in Columbia, Tenn on a softball scholarship and returning to Gadsden State for her business degree. Taylor loved her family and children and was an avid softball player. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. Taylor was happy being with her beloved family. Her greatest joy was being a Mother. She thought of her sweet Emery who was waiting on her in heaven every day. There wasn’t a day that went by that she did not spend with Evie every afternoon when she came home from work outside playing and was looking forward to watching her and Evan running and playing together every day. She was the light of her Mother’s world and the bond they had was like no other. She was the Angel in her Mother’s eyes.
