She was the fourth child of nine born to this union. She departed this life Monday, May 16, 2011. Her journey as a child took her to Shady Grove Baptist Church. She made preparation for her heavenly journey by accepting Christ as her personal Savior. Sister Taylor dedicated her life to Christian service in her church. She was the president of the ushers. For a day in His courts is better than a thousand, I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; (Psalm 84:10) was her motto. She was a member of the Women's Mission, a teacher of the adult women's Sunday School Class. She remained a faithful member until her health failed. Her heart and spirit always remained with her Shady Grove Church Family. She was the oldest member at Shady Grove. She was united in holy matrimony to Bro. Virgil Taylor. Although there weren't any children born to this union, God blessed them with Dennis Emziah, their nephew, who was like a son. Her husband, Deacon Virgil Taylor, her three brothers and five sisters all preceded her in death. In 2005 at the age of ninety-one, she became unable to live alone, She became a resident of Riverview Health Care Center.
