Laurie Ridgeway Taylor

She is survived by her only son, Barrie Charles Taylor; his wife, Carla (MacLellan) and grandchildren, Christopher (Gail McDonell), Carolyn (Charlie Aucoin), and Gregory, and great grandchildren, Ava, Maggie, and Tessa Aucoin, and Charlie, Mac, and Lilli Taylor. Also by sisters, Bertie Guy, Ottawa, and Lillian Hodder, Halifax; half-brother, Frederick Page.

She was predeceased by her husband, George Taylor, sisters, Winnifred Short, Jean Coote, and half-sister, Aretha McNab.

A special thank you to caregiver, Ann Crossman for her untiring, no-nonsense assistance and good humour, and to Pat and Pam Geddes for their long time friendship and years of help with grocery shopping.
