Mrs. Taylor was known for her 20 years of faithfully serving as High School Librarian for Mars Hill Bible School.  She was also known for her hard work assisting her husband, Richard, as a preacher for many congregations of the churches of Christ in the Florence area.  She was a faithful member of the churches of Christ since her teenage years.  She was a volunteer at E.C.M. for many years. She loved her family and friends and loved to travel and read.  She loved her homeland of Canada, but finally became a U.S. citizen. She had been bedfast for almost a year with her loving husband caring for her. Special thanks go to Brittany Hill and Hills’ Home Helpers for their daily care for Mrs. Taylor in this last year! In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made to Mars Hill Bible School.
