Maria Lynn Taylor

Maria was born Saturday, Jan. 2, 1965, in Elkins, a daughter of the late John Taylor and Pauline Cutright Taylor. Surviving at home is her companion of 21 years, Bob Kirk.

Also left to cherish her memory are two children, Jennifer Martin and husband, Brad, of Mill Creek, Alan Taylor Jr. and companion, Shannon Nunley, of Mill Creek; seven grandchildren, Salena, Tiana, Kelsey, Riley Martin, Ava, Liam Taylor and Kali Plum; one great-grandson, Lawson Arbogast; siblings, Donald Taylor and companion, Helen Reid, of Elkins, Arnold Taylor and companion, Pam Henline, of Dailey, Randy Taylor of Elkins; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Preceding her in death besides her parents was one daughter, Jamie Taylor; and the father of her children, Alan Taylor Sr.

Maria attended the schools of Randolph County and obtained her GED.

She was a dedicated homemaker. She enjoyed crafting and playing mystery games on her phone. Maria was just getting into flower gardening; she was so excited to see what would grow from the seeds she just planted. Above all, she adored her grandchildren and loved to spoil them. For the last nine years, Maria took pride and joy raising her granddaughter, Ava, as her own.

Maria’s request for cremation will be honored and a memorial service will be held at a later date.

The Randolph Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements for Maria Lynn Taylor.
