Daughter of Stoney Lee Wilson and Ruth Burke Wilson, Ms. Pat was a lifelong resident of Gordon. She married Carl Tayor, the love of her life, in February 1961 and within a few short years they had created a beautiful family of five. Her 3 girls were her pride and joy, rivaled only by the arrival of her 8 grandchildren. She grew up in the Baptist Church, but after marriage, she and Carl became devoted members of the Gordon Church of Christ. She taught Bible study to teens and was an integral part of the best Vacation Bible School program around. Pat had a gift for connecting with young people and through her 20 years teaching at Wilkinson County school, she was a positive influence in the lives of countless kids. "Miss Pat", as she was known across Wilkinson County, never forgot a student. She loved running into former students, "her kids", and took great pride in their accomplishments. She was a member of the Gordon Women's Club, Better Hometown organization and the Skippin' and Poppin' Antique Tractor Show group. Pat loved her life in Gordon, loved spending time with her family and going on day trips exploring all the great restaurants, festivals and shops across Georgia. As her health began to decline and the number of doctors and health professionals in her life increased, she continued to be her usual outgoing, friendly self, always quick to engage with people and share a joke and a smile. She was so grateful not only for the care and expertise of these people, but for the genuine concern and friendships they brought to her life. Dr. Maria Bartlett and Dr. Swathi Singanamala became like family to her. The staff at the Milledgeville DaVita Dialysis center, Southeast Ambulance Services, Macon office and the Regency Southern Care Hospice, all made the difficulties of her failing health more bearable and added sweet moments of joy to her final days. Pat is preceded in death by her husband, Linton Carl Taylor; her brothers, Stanley, Marvin, and Daniel; sisters, Margaret, Geneva and Thelma.
