Carol Lee Taylor Reid

Carol Lee Taylor Reid, 58, of Gibsonville refused to give up hope and kept faith that she would be restored to the perfect image to which God made her. She finished her course with grace and dignity, on August 14, 2017. Her family will celebrate her life on August 19, 2017 in the Lineberry Center of Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm Chapel at 1 PM with Reverend David Girod officiating. Guests will be received during a reception following the service at the funeral home.

Carol was born in Jacksonville, NC and lived a life full of joy and caring. She graduated in 1977 from Page High School in Greensboro. Her greatest joy was fulfilled as a supportive and devoted mother to her children. Carol’s infectious smile and quick wit endeared her to family and friends who will remember her love for music and tender heart for animals. Her yard and home were ornamented with beautiful flowers and plants that displayed her natural talent for horticulture. Christmas and Halloween were two of her favorite times of the year and she celebrated her birthday the entire month of November. Her five adorable grandchildren stole her heart and time spent with them was precious to Carol. She and her loving partner Kevin enjoyed traveling especially to the mountains or Southern cities where the architecture and pace of life captivated Carol’s interest.

She is survived by her daughters, Alisha Forrest and husband Tyler of Greensboro and Abby Fedorka and fiancé, Jeff Hargreaves of Stokesdale; partner, Kevin Frazier of Gibsonville; brother, John Taylor and wife Abby of Raleigh; five grandchildren, Madison, Braden, Devan, Ethan, and Lily; numerous nieces and nephews; and her sweet four-legged friend, Zoey. She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Norfleet O’Briant; her older brother, Rick Miller; and her beloved companion, Jewels.
