Helen T. Taylor

After her blessed rich life of 83 years, Helen was called Home to be with our Lord on May 8, 2021 in Edina, MN. She is preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, Stephen Monroe Taylor. For many years, Helen fought a gallant battle against Parkinson’s Disease, inspiring all with her humor and dignity until the end. Helen grew up on a farm in Montrose, MN where she learned her love for the outdoors and cultivated her life-long passion for horses and all things equestrian. She was a loving wife, mother and friend. Helen combined strong Christian values and an open heart, putting her at the center of wonderful life-long friendships. Helen is preceded in death by her parents, William McNeely and Marion McNeely, and by her elder brother William McNeely and elder sister Gretchen Badalich (McNeely). Helen is survived by her two children Anne Elizabeth (Jeff) Macke (Taylor) of San Diego and Paul William Taylor of Minneapolis, as well as her stepson Robert Paul Taylor of Lake Tahoe. She is also survived by five grandchildren and sixth due in October from Paul Taylor & Mimi Manesh. A devout Christian, Helen loved our Lord and lived her life in His service. She will be deeply missed by her family and many friends.
