Cecile Taylor, age 62 of Winnfield, made her way to her Heavenly home on Monday, November 25, 2024.  She grew up in Winn Parish and graduated from Winn Academy in 1980.  She grew up watching football with her Dad.  She loved watching LSU and the Saints play, but mostly she enjoyed spending that time with her dad.  Her Dad was her hero.

Cecile worked many years at Texas Turbine and later she made the move to Texas and co-owned a carpet cleaning business.  She moved back home to Winnfield in 2005 and went to work at the City of Winnfield Utilities Department.  Cecile loved her chihuahua dogs.  She enjoyed shopping and visiting with friends and family.

While at Leslie Lakes, in Arcadia, Cecile made many friends.  She traveled the halls to visit until her health got bad and would no longer allow her to do so.

Those left to cherish her memory is her father, Garland Taylor and Jerry; step-mother, Barbara Taylor; aunt, Renelda Taylor; uncle, Cordell Taylor and Carolyn; many, many cousins and other family.  She is preceded by her mother, Jewel Jones; paternal grandparents, Hesley and Azzell (Moffett) Taylor; maternal grandparents, Judge and Martha (Hancock) Jones.

Friends may visit with the family on Wednesday, November 27, 2024 from 9:30am until the time of service at Siloam Baptist Church in Gansville.  Funeral services are set to begin at 11:00am with Bro. Terry Bartley and Bro. Tom Gresham officiating.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery under the direction of Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home.
