Grandma Taylor

Grandma Taylor was a special lady.  She was not a member of the church.  She was born May 1, 1910 in Vardiman, Chickasaw, Mississippi.  

Her parents were John Rueben Taylor and Lou Dorothy Doss.  They were born in the 1880's

Even though my Grandma Simmons was not her daughter (her grandaugher) she took her in because Grandma’s mom could not take care of her.  Mom says that she probably saved Grandma's life.  She was married several times.  She stuck with the last one. 

My mom talks about how she used to cook bacon on fast Sunday, not knowing what she was doing to the poor kids.  She was diabetic so she could not fast anyway.

She lived to meet my older brother Tyler.  She died 27 May 1983.  She was buried in our family cemetery in Provo Utah.
