She was a devoted and loving wife and mother who adored her children. Anyone who knew Taylor knew how much she loved children and could not wait to be a wife and mommy. She was nurturing and caring to everyone in her life and always chose to put others’ needs before her own. Her family and friends will remember how fun and mischievous she was, always playing jokes and cutting up. She had a way of bringing everyone together and always left you wanting more time with her. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from UNCW and worked for several years before recently choosing to stay at home to take care of her boys. We will always remember Taylor’s sweet smile, tender heart and gentle spirit.
Taylor was predeceased by her grandparents, William K. Baucom, Sr., June Baucom, Jimmy Rivenbark and Janet Miller.
She is survived by her husband of three years, John McAuliffe; sons, Jack and Avett; parents, Tad and Pam Baucom; sisters, Shelby Baucom and Brooke (Daren) Hunter; and nephews, Easton and Holden.
