Patricia Ann Taylor, 89, of Sunset Beach, NC (formerly from Ashland, Massachusetts) was reunited with the love of her life on February 16, 2026 while at her daughter's home in Michigan.

Born in Natick, Massachusetts on November 10, 1936, she was the daughter of Henry Walter and Norine Callahan Walter. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased in death by her loving husband of 68 years Walter L. Taylor, Jr., her daughter Tracianne Taylor deWolfe, and her brothers Henry Walter Jr. and Robert Walter.

Patricia was a lifelong member of the Catholic faith and attended Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in North Myrtle Beach, SC. She retired from decades of work in the health care field, moving to North Carolina in 1998.  She was an avid reader, enjoyed shopping, and attending classic car shows with their 1956 T-bird. Patricia loved baking sweet treats and was famous for her delicious blueberry muffins.  She loved watching her hometown teams, the Boston Red Sox, the Celtics and the New England Patriots. Patricia cherished spending time with her husband, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Patricia is survived by her daughters, Suzanne Taylor-Parent and husband Joseph, Leslianne Taylor-Pratt and husband Robert; her grandchildren Alyssa deWolfe, Ryan deWolfe, Melissa Parent, Alexander Parent, Hannah Parent, Taylor Fournier, Tucker Fournier, Tia Fournier, and Tanner Fournier: her great-grandchildren Alexis and Able Fournier; and several nieces and nephews.

Patricia's legacy of love, faith and kindness will live on forever in the hearts of her family and friends.

A memorial service is being planned and will be held in Massachusetts at a later date.

The family requests with gratitude that donations be made in her name to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or www.stjude.org .
