and in 1954 married, her sweetheart, Dr. J Verlon Taylor, who was a graduate
of Emory dental school in Atlanta.  Following her husband being drafted into
the Korean War, they moved to Japan, where Dr. Taylor was in charge of a
Dental Clinic and Mrs. Taylor worked as a nurse at Tokyo Army Hospital. Upon
returning to Georgia, Dr. Taylor opened a dental office in Gainesville,
Georgia, and Mrs. Taylor became very involved with many civic organizations,
such as the Junior League.  She later became an entrepreneur, opening her
own clothing store in Gainesville, Georgia, called "Threads."  Mrs. Taylor
eventually sold Threads and worked as a nurse for a private physician for a
number of years.  She later retired with her husband in Clermont, GA, where
they enjoyed a beautiful life.
