Golda Mae Taylor, age 90 of Winnfield, Louisiana passed away on Tuesday, January 31, 2023.

Born Thursday, November 17, 1932 in Winnfield, Louisiana, she was preceded in death by her parents, Lillie Ioala Mathews Smith and John Luther Smith; maternal grandparents, Robert E. Lee and Frances Ophilia Mathews; brothers, James Lee Smith and an infant brother; sister, Gloria Inez Smith; son, Darryl Taylor; and husband, Leonard Ray Taylor.

Those left to cherish her memory include her son, Mike Taylor; daughter, Patricia Ferrier (Clinton); daughter, Melody Bartley (Gary); special friend, Donna Bland; 11 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; 2 great great grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family in Alaska.

If anyone knew Golda Mae they knew love.  She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother.  She loved being part of five generations.  She was present for the birth of her first great-great grandson.  This meant so much to her.  Family was one of the most important things to her.  If you were lucky enough to be a grand, great grand, or great great grandchild you got a cross-stiched baby quilt from her.   Even when her eyesight got bad.  She never met a stranger.  One of her favorite things to do was watch baseball.  She couldn't wait for season to start so she would have something to watch on tv.  She loved going to yard and garage sales.   You might say, she was addicted to this. She will be missed, but we have lots of great memories with her.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at Southern Funeral Home, from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM, and again on Sunday, February 5, 2023, at Southern Funeral Home, from 1:00 PM until time of services.
