On Friday, August 17, 2018, Mary Nell Taylor, 88, died peacefully at home in Tallahassee, FL.
Mary Nell loved babies and children, read voraciously, was always a leader at work and in church and a committed life-long democrat.
She was adored by her children, Nelda, David (Debra), James (Edith) and John as well as her 7 grandchildren.
Her beloved husband, James William Taylor, Sr., preceded her in death in 1995. Mary Nell was born near Red Level, Alabama and travelled extensively through her husband’s career in the Air Force and her own career in the telecommunications industry, but they always returned to the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area from 1951 onward and where she lived continuously from 1978 until 2015 when she moved to Tallahassee to be with her family.
Mary Nell’s ashes will be interred in the Robinson Cemetery in Alabama later this year, and her life celebrated at that time. In her remembrance, memorial donations may be made to: Alzheimer’s Association, www.alz.org/cnfl/donate.
