Beverly Jean "BJ" Taylor passed away and went to be with her Lord and Saviour on January 29th 2003 following complications from surgery in Mesa, Arizona.

The joy, the smile, the laughter she brought into this world, will be missed by everyone she came in contact with.

Born on March 24, 1930 to George and Dolly Gallaway in Wenatchee, Washington. She was one of eight children.

The family moved to Seattle where in 1949 she met and married William B. "Bill" Taylor on August 12, 1949 living primarily in the Mountlake Terrace, WA area. She worked for the Edmonds School District as a cook and then later as a school bus driver retiring in 1985. After moving back to Wenatchee, she and Bill enjoyed traveling and snowbirding to their second home in Mesa during the winter months.

Her husband of 49 years, preceded her in death on January 14, 1999 and her son Patrick "Pat" on June 17, 1989.

She is survived by her two sons Stephen B. (Patty) Taylor, John G. (Ginny) Taylor, four grandchildren (Brandon, Jeff, Nick and Jason), her brother George Gallaway (Myrna) of Wentachee, and sisters Charm (Jim) Evans of Monroe, Georgia and Mryl Brown of San Jose, California plus many nieces and nephews.

May the peace and the joy of the Lord be with her now and forever and may all that knew her rejoice.

A memorial service to be held in Wenatchee, will be announced later.
