Nancy Taylor

Nancy Madeleine Rigsby Taylor, a lifelong resident of Montgomery, Alabama, passed away peacefully on June 2, 2026, at the age of 83, after facing a long battle with cancer with remarkable grace, courage, and faith.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Edd Rose Rigsby and Mabry Turk Rigsby, and by her beloved husband, James “Jimmy” M. Taylor, Jr.

Nancy is survived by her loving daughters, Tammy Hagood of Brookwood, Alabama, and Jamie Chance of Huntsville, Alabama. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Kaitlan Bailey (Michael), Tyler Hagood (Julie), Caleb Chance, and Madeliene “Mae Mae” Chance. She was also blessed with a cherished great-grandson, Miller Hagood, who brought her much joy.

A graduate of Robert E. Lee High School, Nancy later married the love of her life, Jimmy, and together they built a life centered on faith, family, and love. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to her family as a wife, mother, and homemaker, always placing the needs of others before her own.

Nancy’s faith was the foundation of her life. She was a faithful member of Frazer Methodist Church for more than fifty years. Even during her illness, the church’s television ministry enabled her to remain connected to the worship services she loved so dearly. She was especially grateful for the friendships, prayers, cards and encouragement she received from the ladies of her Sunday School class, whose faithful support and love meant so much to her.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the many caregivers who provided Nancy with exceptional care, comfort, and kindness throughout her illness. Special thanks are extended to Dr. McDaniel’s team of Montgomery Cancer Center especially Sarah Passmore; Ida Acher and Teresa Jackson of Gentiva Hospice; and her wonderful caregivers from Home Helpers of Prattville. Their compassion, dedication, and friendship were a tremendous blessing to Nancy and to her family.

Nancy will be remembered for her gentle spirit, steadfast faith, loving heart, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her legacy of kindness, grace, and love will continue to live on in the lives of all who knew and loved her.

A visitation for Nancy will be held Friday, June 5 from 10:00-11:00 at Frazer Methodist Church, 6000 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, Al with the funeral service to follow at 11:00 AM. Burial will be at Greenwood Cemetery.
