Mrs. Taylor was born February 3, 1941, to Donald D. and Harriet S. Miller in Tulare, California. She graduated from high school there in 1958 and married Davis Taylor on June 10, 1961, in Tulare.

The family lived in various places before moving to Union County in 1983. She was an EMT and enjoyed taking care of people, gardening, crafts, baking and quilting. She was a member of the Blue Mountain Quilters and will be remembered as a wonderful mom, grandma and friend.

Survivors include her husband of 43 years and her father, both of Wallowa; children and their spouses, Bonnie and Terry Tollefson of Wallowa and Kimberly and Barry Summers of Elgin; three brothers and their wives, Don and Evelyn Miller of Aloha, James and Jamie Miller of San Luis Obispo, California, and Arthur and Roma Jean Miller of Bakersfield, California; and other relatives. Her mother died earlier.
