Carole Joan Taylor

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Carole started working at the age of 16 in the NYSE quickly rising to executive secretary. In 1957 she married James Z. Taylor MD and moved to Philadelphia, PA where she became an executive secretary to the V.P. at DeHaven, Townsend, Crouter & Bodine Brokerage House. After helping put her husband through medical school Carole moved seamlessly into navy life, where she was instrumental in starting the first daycare for military personnel at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey and started raising her family. In later years Carole achieved her college degree from Community College of the Finger Lakes and became a fierce advocate for children with special needs, holding a board position on the Committee for the Handicap in Geneva, NY for many years.

Her love for Cape Cod was immense and it is there that she and her husband settled into a joyful retirement.

She leaves behind her loving and devoted family; her husband of 62 years James Z. Taylor MD, her children Jennifer, Jim, and Jonathan, her son-in-law Laurence, her daughter-in-law Beth, her adored grandchildren Jack, Alyssa, Connor, Emily & Clara, her sister Cathy Jones and brother Barry Lynch as well as her many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Internment will be private with a Celebration of Life to follow in the future.

Memorial donations may be made to Cape Abilities, 895 Mary Dunn Rd, Hyannis, MA.
