Cynthia Jane Taylor-Day
CJ Taylor was born on June 24, 1949 in Camden, NJ to Warren Eugene Taylor and Joan Roberts Taylor. She attended Spring Side School in Philadelphia, and began her long term interest in figure skating. The family moved to Seattle in 1967, where she graduated from the Bush School in 1970. CJ also attained Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Health Administration from the University of Washington. Her extensive work in the health care field included laboratory and administrative positions at Swedish and Providence Hospitals, Pacific Medical Center, and the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. She was very committed to equity in health care and improving detection and treatment of breast cancer, for which she was treated in 1988, and from which her mother died when CJ was 17 years old. She established the first breast center in the area at Providence Hospital. CJ was always active in philanthropy. She honored her mother by starting the first guild at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the Joan Roberts Taylor Guild. Her strong support of the Hutchinson Center, the University of Washington, and a number of other nonprofits including Montlake School and Seattle Academy which her daugh- ters attended, attest to her interest in improving lives and health for many. Natalia and Julia Day joined the family in 1994, and were the focus of her love and devotion for the rest of her life. She was a very good mother to her daughters whose interests and concerns were always her priority. In 1995 CJ and friends established the Puget Sound Affiliate of the Komen Foundation of which shewas its founding director, a position she held for a number of years. Komen benefitted from her abilities in working with others, supporting them and guiding the Chapter from its beginning to one of the premier Komen affiliates in the county. In 2005 she and her husband, Bob Day, established the Science and Management of Addictions (SAMA) Foundation. SAMA has grown in size and scope of programs to help youth with the disease of addiction. Through her years CJ faced each opportunity and challenge with the same courage, insight, abilities and commitment that insured success for SAMA, Komen and her many efforts to improve the lives of others. Her personal support of so many, her courtesy to all, and her skill at building institutions was always done with modesty and delight in the accomplishments of others. CJ was always appropriate, widely loved for her cheerfulness and warmth, and both a modest and a highly intelligent wife, mother, friend and colleague. She will be greatly missed by so many, but remembered for the love and good she brought to so many. She passed away Sunday August 14th at home with her family beside her. Her death followed an eight year battle with ovarian cancer. Throughout that fight, she was a model of how a person can best face a serious disease: with grace, courage, indefatigable determination, and with faith in those caring for her; using her strength to continue to love and support her family and friends. She leaves her daughters, Natalia Day and Julia Day, her husband of 34 years, Bob Day, her Brother Tom Taylor and sister in law Mary Taylor, nephews Matthew and John Taylor, cousins, and her husband's and father's families. A Celebration of Her Life will be held at St Mark's Cathedral, Seattle, at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 8, 2011. The family invites those attending to a reception immediately following at the Seattle Tennis Club. In recognition of her many charitable interests, contributions in her memory can be sent to the Founders Fund, SAMA Foundation, 18 West Mercer St, Seattle, WA 98119. The Fund will honor her memory by grants to provide services and support for the many charities to which she contributed so much.
