Millie Taylor

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mildred W. (Houston) Taylor joined the Heavenly Reunion Monday evening July 30, 2012.

Taylor, Jr., parents Ruben and Willie Mae Widner, sister Katherine Harmon, brother-in-law Earl C. Harmon and Dr. Taylor's son, John E. Taylor III. Mildred, known to her friends as Millie, was a long time resident of Decatur and Atlanta having moved to Decatur in 1948 to start her family. She was a dedicated member of North Decatur Road Baptist Church (formerly Emory Baptist Church) and Embry Hills United Methodist Church. Gardening, playing bridge and traveling were some of her many hobbies but her greatest love was the game of golf. An avid golfer for almost 50 years she was a beloved member of Druid Hills Golf Club and the Georgia Womens Golf Association. Among her many golfing accomplishments, the two she was most proud of were winning the Druid Hills Golf Club Women's Championship and scoring 5 holes-in-one during her golfing career.
