Inez Taylor

Inez Kathleen Taylor, age 87, of Greenville, passed away Thursday morning, November 5, 2015 at her home under the loving care of her family and Heartland Hospice. The daughter of Hans Herbert & Alma Anna (Rydahl) Hansen, she was born on January 5, 1928 in Greenville, and was a 1946 graduate of Greenville High School. On December 11, 1948, she married Richard James Taylor and together they enjoyed almost 67 years of marriage and raised four children. Inez enjoyed camping with her family, was a Detroit Tigers fan, liked watching The Wheel of Fortune and The Price Is Right, as well as enjoying canning. She will be remembered by her family as the best pie maker in the world -- the secret was her homemade crust. She was preceded in death by her parents; four sisters; and one brother.
