TERRY TAYLOR, MARIEDNA TAYLOR'S HUSBAND, PASSES AWAY

 


Terry Taylor, husband of Mariedna Taylor, BJ Payroll for 22 years still her 2018 retirement, passed away Tuesday, December 6.

Mariedna received a Beacon Journal’s Brightest award in 2017 on the same day as Rick Armond and Frank Palcko.

Karen Jones, BJ benefits coordinator who lives in Tallmadge, tipped me off.

Terry’s obituary:

In Loving Memory of Terence Lee "Terry" Taylor 1944 - 2022

 

Terence “Terry” Taylor, 78, met his heavenly gate invitation, peacefully, at home on December 6th, 2022.

His legacy is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Mariedna S Taylor; his daughters, Erica (John) Taylor, Kelly (Kip) Welty, Robin (Scott) French and his son, Gregory Taylor; his sister, Kathy (Richard) Goocher and his brother, Jeff Taylor.

Preceded in death was his mother, Agnes, his father, Dale Dirk Taylor; and his brother, Scott Alan Taylor. He will also be deeply missed by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Terry always appreciated spending time with family, whether it was on a boat, travelling in the car on fun road trips, or to the infamous White Sox vs Indians games. Also, throughout the years, he has enjoyed golfing, bowling, hunting and fishing. Each and every one of these pursuits were always approached with a great deal of planning and great enthusiasm.

Born the eldest of four children, Terry was engrained with the responsibility of a leader. Throughout his career in engineering and various leagues, whether it be Boy Scouts or otherwise, he has always taken the initiative to take on more responsibility by being in a leadership role. Always the one to see through things to the end, he would make sacrifices to make deadlines for newsletters and action plans for his leagues.

Terry enjoyed many, and seemingly endless, nights of Sunday evening rivalrous games of Euchre and Cribbage. A man full of sharp-witted comments and clever phrases was always said with a smirk or a laughter that made his shoulders jump, especially if it was particularly witty.

Defeats never went un-noticed and would often be called ‘muggins’. Or the first points made in the game would always be called, “first blood”.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 at 1 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 North Canton Road, Akron, Ohio 44305, where Rev. David Weyrick will celebrate Terry's life. Family and friends may visit at the funeral home on Monday from 11:00 AM until the service time at 1:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contribution may be made directly to Stow Presbyterian Church, 4150 Fishcreek Road, Stow, OH 44224.
