Margie Olene Nelson Taylor, age 87, passed away March 22, 2010, in Chautauqua Health and Rehabilitation Center. A native of Florala, Alabama, she was born to Arthur and Alma Nelson on April 7, 1922, her father’s birthday. She lived over 50 years in Lockhart, Alabama, and attended the Lockhart Baptist Church, Ladies Bible Study Group, Garden Club, and Florala Senior Citizens Center Activities.
Margie's early working experience was in retail sales, owning/operating a small grocery store, flower nursery, child care service, and a laundry-mat. A child of the depression, she learned early to be frugal and how to use and re-use everything, which led to a lifelong interest in collecting and recycling. Witty, friendly, compassionate and generous by nature, she enjoyed helping people, especially those in need. Until her health no longer permitted, she enjoyed volunteering and assisting at the Florala Christian Life Center.
Margie's deep love and knowledge of flowers and plants was always obvious, especially in the springtime when her yard became a showplace of blooms and beauty. She was happy sharing flowers, bulbs, plants, seed, cuttings and how-to-grow advice with family, friends and strangers alike.
While receiving care at Parthenon Healthcare in Crestview and Chautauqua Rehab and Nursing Center in DeFuniak Springs Florida, because of her love and wearing of hats, she became affectionately known and admired as “The Hat Lady.” The family will forever be grateful to both nursing staffs for their care and assistance.
Margie was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Alma Nelson; her husband, William W. Taylor, Jr.; and son, Mickey Cox.
Survivors are one daughter, one son, one grandson, one daughter-in-law, two sisters; nieces, nephews, cousins and long-time friends, all special to her.
Visitation: one hour prior to funeral time.
Funeral: 11:00am, Wednesday, March 24, 2010, in Evans Funeral Home Chapel in Florala, Alabama.
Burial: in the Taylor Family plot in Florala Greenwood Cemetery.
