Barbara Ann (Cooper) Taylor from Pickerington, Ohio age 82 passed away peacefully on November 20th, 2022. She was born on January 20th, 1940 in Sciotoville, Ohio.
Barbara was a hard worker and will be most remembered for the way she loved her family. She put everyone’s needs above her own. She has touched many lives. Examples meaningful to her family include being her husband Larry’s gas pit crew for years of enduro motorcycle racing, a listener and encourager in all kinds of ways to her three children and their spouses, she supported her children and grandchildren at countless sporting and musical events, and never turned down an opportunity to watch her grandchildren. In her final years she found joy in her granddog Gunnar and working puzzles. Barbara attended the Reynoldsburg Nazarene Church. She was a humble, kindhearted woman and we will all miss her.
Barbara is survived by her husband of 65 years, Larry N. Taylor, Sr.; their children Cheryl A. King (Dennis), Karen L. Mahoney (James), and Larry N. Taylor, Jr. (Debra); grandchildren Matthew R. King (Elenie), Jonathan M. King, Stephen N. King (Emma), Brock A. Taylor, and Kelsey L. Taylor; great grandchildren Hadley M. King, Hudson L. King, and Heidi A. King; siblings Ruth Ingram, Naomi Quiroz, James Cooper (Lois), Danny Cooper (Linda). She is preceded in death by her parents Robert & Zelma (Price) Cooper; brothers Robert Cooper Jr., Marvin Cooper, and Billy Cooper; sisters Betty Zody and Janice Sparks.
