She was born in Kingston, Jamaica on March 12th, 1925 to her late parents, Fernandez & Mobel (Hall) Taylor. She met her adoring husband, Herbert, at church, who fell in love with her at first sight. They married December 5th, 1948 and just celebrated 66 happy years together.
Violet delighted in playing the piano & organ at church and at home. She has been a member of the North Orlando Seventh Day Adventist Church & was devoted to her God. Violet would answer the phone, “Praise the Lord, Hello!” Or if you got her answering machine you would hear “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Leave your name and number and I will get back to you” She and her friends loved to go around town visiting, and doing missionary work.
Violet’s family will continue to remember Sunday morning’s ackee and saltfish breakfast with plantains and journey cakes! Along with so many more loving memories.
