Patricia Stauffer Taylor

Patricia was born on February 26, 1930 to Bill and Pauline (Stubbs) Stauffer in Wilmington, Delaware. She graduated from Otterbein College in Ohio with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. While in college, she met her future husband Bill. They were married in 1954 and moved to Midland, Michigan.

Patricia is the beloved wife of the late William Taylor. She is the loving mother of Ken (Kathleen) Taylor, Dorothy (Kevin) Kriesel and Jim (Jeannette) Taylor, the cherished grandmother of Joe Taylor, Mark Taylor, Sarah (Paul) Feliciano, Amanda (Allen) Bleisch, Melissa Kriesel, Steve (Samantha) Taylor and John (Megan) Taylor and the proud great-grandmother of Alex Feliciano. Sadly, she is preceded in death by her twin sister, Dorothy “Dottie” Jenkinson.

Pat was an avid bird watcher and accomplished knitter. She also enjoyed traveling, sailing on Saginaw Bay with her family, and spending as much time as possible with her children and grandchildren.

Per the wishes of her family, cremation has taken place and a private memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions to the Midland Center for the Arts are suggested. Arrangements are being handled by the Union Lake Chapel of the Elton Black & Son Funeral Home (www.eltonblackandsonwhitelake.com).
