Cheryl Lynn Taylor

Cheryl Lynn Taylor, passed away on the early morning of August 24th, 2023 at the age of 72. She was reunited with her heavenly parents, Laura and Miner Jelsma. Cheryl was born and raised on the westside of Grand Rapids. After she graduated from Union High School in 1969, she pursued her degree in education at Western Michigan University. While visiting back home, Cheryl met the love of her life, and was a devoted wife to Tom Taylor Sr. for forty-nine amazing years. Together, they built a family where Cheryl poured her love into her children and grandchildren. Cheryl loved spending time in the kitchen creating delicious meals for her family, and baking for everyone around her. Cheryl was the first to lend a helping hand, and always put her family first. Most recently, she especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. You could always find Cheryl cheering on the sidelines during their baseball, football, basketball, softball and volleyball games. Cheryl relied heavily on her Catholic faith, and loved the Lord, her family, church, and community. While we mourn her earthly departure, we rejoice in the memory of a woman who touched many lives with love, laughter and kindness. She will forever be missed by all who knew her.
