Emma Jean (Gregory) Taylor

Emma Jean Taylor, 73 of Corsicana, beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law,
grandmother, sister, and friend passed away on Friday March 12, 2004, at her
home after a long, valiant fight with Parkinson's.

Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Monday, March 15 at Corley Funeral Home in
Corsicana with Rev. B.F. Risinger and Rev. Clayton Smith officiating. Interment
will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park. The family will receive friends from 5

Jean was born October 26, 1930 in Winkler, TX to Emma and J. P. Gregory. She
cared for her family at the very early age of 10 when she lost her mother to
illness. She married the love of her life A. J. Taylor of Corsicana at the
Roane Baptist Church. They settled down and started their family, where Jean
worked for Corsicana ISD and later Adams Hats. She was a loving, caring person
that showed no anger. If you needed help she was always there for you. She was
also the best mother-in-law that any woman was grateful to call Mom.

She is survived by her husband of 46 years, A. J. Taylor of Corsicana; sons and
daughters-in-law, Jay and Gina Taylor of Mexia and Kenneth and Monica Taylor of
Ennis; and one brother and sister-in-law, James and Juanelle Gregory of
Granbury; and a daughter-in-law, Wanda Taylor. She was beloved "Grammy" to
three grandchildren: Kayla, Meg, and Austin Taylor. She leaves behind a host of
nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends. Jean was a wonderful
person who will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

The family wishes to thank Hospice of Cedar Creek Lake nursing staff,
especially Pam, for making Jean's journey home a little easier.
