Mrs. Taylor died on September 3, 2026, in Quitman. She was born on June 15, 1933, in Alba, to Joseph William and Maisy Hass Sanders.
On January 16, 1953, she married Billy Taylor, in Alba. They built a life and a home in Emory, where they lived for the last 45 years. Their 55 years of marriage were filled with family, hard work, laughter, and memories that will remain with those who loved them.
Mrs. Taylor was a member of the Quinlan Chapter #170 Order of the Eastern Star and was deeply devoted to her family. She was a woman who loved life and stayed active well beyond what most would expect. She was a pitcher who truly loved softball—not only playing the game, but coaching and sharing her love of it with others. She continued playing until she was 60 years old. She also enjoyed the outdoors. She loved fishing and arrowhead hunting with her sister and best friend Linda.
Mrs. Taylor is survived by her three daughters, Karen Craver and husband Rob of Mineola, Susan Brown and husband Paul of Quinlan, and Billie Hubbard and husband Mike of Royse City; two brothers, Rabon “Scooter” Sanders of Denton and Billy Sanders of Golden; sisters, Katie Thornton of Winnsboro and Madie Reid of Mineola; grandchildren, Lorissa, Kyla, Michael, Trent, Kristen, and Taylor; five great-grandchildren; three great-great grandchildren; and numerous other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; great-grandson, Holden Sisk; brother, Charlie Joe Sanders; and sisters, Linda Ann Sanders and Mary Jo Sanders.
