In Memory Of
Alice Taylor
Alice Taylor
Alice J. Taylor, age 85, Topeka, KS, beloved mother, grandmother and friend, passed away Thursday, April 21, 2011.
Alice was born October 2, 1925 in Grand Forks, ND, the daughter of Myron and Isabelle (Robertson) Brathovde. She graduated from West High School in Minneapolis, MN. She was a homemaker, seamstress and later worked for Southwest Medical Center in Liberal, KS and the Topeka Iron Workers Local 10.
She was a peacemaker who loved the Lord and was an active member of Trinity Presbyterian Church. She was a member of Lake Shawnee Golf Club and several bridge clubs. Her greatest joy was her family and helping others. She enjoyed computer activities, games, and she was the world's best cookie maker!
Alice married Robert C. "Bob" Taylor on December 18, 1943. They were married for 53 years before his death in 1997, and now they are together again. They were shining examples of what parents should be to their children.
Those who will miss her most include son, Robert L. (Anne) Taylor, Fair Oaks, CA; daughters, Janie Taylor- Clark, Lufkin, TX; Mary (Gary) Smith, Jefferson, NC; Margo (Ron) Stewart, Topeka; Sarah (Bill) Strinden, Lufkin TX; 18 grandchildren; 28 great grandchildren; and sisters, Mary Mannes, Grand Forks, ND, and Marge Davis, Rutland, VT. She was preceded in death by her husband; sister, Margaret Montgomery; and brothers, Myron and John Brathovde.
A celebration of her life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Burial will follow at West Lawn Memorial Gardens. Alice will lie in state at Penwell-Gabel Southwest Chapel after 2:00 p.m. on Monday and visitation will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
