Judy Taylor, 70, passed away on Aug. 17 in Sun City, Ariz., after a two-
year battle with cancer.

Judy was born on Dec. 9, 1954, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Robert and
Veronica Krob.

Judy graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in
early child education. She earned a master's degree from Arizona State
University and taught kindergarten in Wickenburg for 34 years.

She continued to substitute teach in Aguila, Wickenburg Christian
Academy and Wickenburg public schools.

Judy married Edward Taylor, also a teacher, in 1981. The couple has a
son, Merrick Taylor, who is now living with his family in Texas.

Judy is best known for teaching kindergarten, music, Christian
fellowship, traveling, camping, leading music on Christian retreats and
mission support in the Czech Republic, Mexico and the Philippines.

She loved teaching Bible stories and playing games with the children.

Judy is survived by her husband, Edward Taylor of Wickenburg; Judy's
sister, Mary Jeanne Krob of Pittsburgh; son and daughter-in-law, Merrick
and Brianne Taylor of Waxahachie, Texas; and their three children whom
she adored dearly.

Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Veronica Krob of
Ely, Iowa.

A memorial service will be held at First Presbyterian Church of
Wickenburg Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. A reception will follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations may be made in Judy's
name to K9 Konnection animal shelter of Wickenburg.
