June Smith Taylor's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, June Smith Taylor on Thursday, June 20, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born August 21, 1 932, in New Orleans, LA to Alma Loyd Smith and Sidney M. Smith Sr.
June is survived by her children, Diane Taylor Stein, Barbara Taylor Spell (Sidney), Robert Glynn Taylor (Alicia), Douglas Brian Taylor (Gayle) and Gregory Scott Taylor (Annette), 14 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Ellen Smith Shoultz; sister-in-law, Kathy Fielding Smith, brother-in-law, Richard Blossman and many nieces and nephews who she loved with all her heart.
June is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Penny Taylor Jr., her son-in-law Don G. Stein as well as her siblings, Marilyn Smith Mathies (the late Abe) Muriel Smith Blossman and Sidney M. Smith Jr. (the late Helen).
June was a lifelong resident of Covington and attended Covington High School. She was a cheerleader and a straight A student, as she so often reminded us as kids. She was a retired Bell South supervisor and a devoted member of Northlake Assembly of God Church.
God was always first in her life and her family. She prepared many, many meals with such love, especially her chicken and dumplings, homemade banana pudding and many pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Special thanks to Louisiana Heart and Vascular and St. Tammany Parish Hospice, especially Kim and Dee.
