Ila Mae (Ross) Taylor

July 21, 1931 ~ February 11, 2023 (age 91)

Ila Mae Taylor, age 91, went to Her heavenly home on Saturday, February 11th, 2023. She was born July 21st, 1931 to Jay Orville and Florence (Cowan) Ross.

Her early years were spent growing up on a farm in Shelton, Nebraska. She experienced milking cows, caring for chickens and pigs. She was the oldest of four girls in her family.

After high school she went into teaching beginning in a country school in Nebraska.

Ila married Calvin Taylor and moved to Oklahoma where she resided until her death.

She worked at Montgomery Ward and a few other retail stores during those years. She faithfully attended Faith Bible Church where her husband Calvin taught Sunday School each week. She headed up the prayer chain for a number of years. Ila was very active always walking around town for exercise. If someone saw her walking down the street and offered her a ride, she would tell them that she was just out walking. Nothing stopped her from walking even being attacked by a dog one time. Her determination served her well.

Ila also enjoyed reading and keeping up on the news. She was also very kind and always eager to help others or anyone in need.

Ila is survived by her two sisters Vera Sulling of Weston, WI and Doris Uehle of Fox River Grove, She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Mary; and Ila’s husband, Calvin Taylor.
