She enjoyed watching Alabama football, doing crossword puzzles and reading. But, her most precious times were spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and reading her Bible. She also enjoyed the 20 plus years that she worked at The Pants Store in Leeds, recalling sweet memories of the people she worked with and met there.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Richard Taylor, her parents and her 8 siblings.
