Mrs. Pauline Moore Taylor was born on October 5, 1913 to Joseph and Ola Lowe Moore at home in Votaw. She passed from this life on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at a local care facility.

Pauline was born and raised in Votaw and attended school there. She graduated from Votaw High School in 1931 and then completed a secondary senior year at nearby Saratoga High School the following year. In 1936 Pauline married C.D. “Red” Taylor in Beaumont. Together they lived in Livingston for the majority of her life until 1994 when she moved to Liberty to be closer to family. Mrs. Taylor was a strong Christian woman of great faith. She was a longtime member of the Church of Christ. For many years she was a bedside nurse, caring for new mothers and their families. She was involved with Polk County Home Demonstrations Club for over 75 years. Mrs. Taylor was a wonderful quilter and did a lot of crochet work as well. All of which she did meticulously by hand.

Pauline never met a stranger and was always known as a people person. She was a lifetime caretaker and was recognized several times by multiple different organizations for her service to others. She was an active member of the women’s auxiliary at the facility where she lived for many years. She was a wonderful mother and was a homemaker at heart. Pauline will always be remembered as a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother.
