Alice Ann Nelson Taylor of Honeyville, Utah, was born September 16, 1932, in Tucson, Arizona, to Thomas George and Alice Ann Kimball Nelson. There she was raised on a farm along with ten other siblings.
Ann, as she was known, was very smart and graduated from Binghampton High School with top honors and many scholarship offers. She gave that all up to marry her sweetheart, Joseph David Taylor, whom she met at a church activity. They were married December 5, 1950, in the Mesa, Arizona Temple and later raised 11 children together. They lived in Wilcox, Pomerene, and St. David, Arizona; Barstow, California; and Honeyville, Utah, where Ann loved and served in various capacities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her children were raised in a gospel-centered home and together they rise up to honor her.
Ann was well-known for her breadmaking, canning, and quilting skills, which have been passed down to much of her posterity. All her children, grandchildren, and hundreds of others were blessed with quilts of their own to treasure. Ann loved music and played the piano and organ for church and choirs for more than seven decades. She was proud to have many accomplished musicians among her children and grandchildren. Ann was also an extremely hard worker. One of the wonderful accomplishments of which she was most proud was rebuilding and finishing walls, closets, and cabinets in her 100+ year old Honeyville home. She worked hard to make it a place that welcomed, sheltered, and fed all her family, loved ones, and even strangers.
Ann was preceded in death by her son, Joseph Aaron (1971), her husband Joseph Taylor (2000), two grandson, Joshua Martin (1990) and Stephen Taylor (2015), and three granddaughters, Monique Delobel (1980), Sarah Asay (2020), and Rebecca Cowley (2021), and one great-grandson Charles Elias (2022).
Ann passed away peacefully on August 26, 2023, surrounded by some of her children, at the Maple Springs Care facility in Brigham City, Utah.
Interment in the Honeyville, Utah Cemetery.
