Geraldine “Geri” Dillard Taylor, age 82, of Franklin, passed away on Sunday, January 31, 2021 in Franklin, TN.
Geri was born in Nashville, TN to the late Thomas E. Dillard and Mary E. Foley on January 4, 1939.
She attended Catholic schools and was a graduate of class of 1957 St. Bernard Academy in Nashville. She married Hubert Joseph Taylor on August 18, 1958 in Nashville, TN. She worked at what was then the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company In Nashville, TN as a switch board operator for several years after high school but spent the majority of her life as a Mother and homemaker for her husband and four children.
