Lois Jean Taylor

Lois Jean Taylor, 71 of Anadarko passed away peacefully at her home on July 30, 2019, following a lengthy illness. Lois was diagnosed with lupus, a disease that saps your strength and then your will. The disease met its match in Lois. She was a 30 year lupus survivor. Regardless of how she felt she kept a smile on her face, and presented herself as if there was nothing wrong at all.

Lois was born on September 22, 1947 to Willie James (Dub) and Rozenea Johnson in Ft. Cobb, Oklahoma. She graduated from Fort Cobb High School. After graduation she worked as a Teachers
Aide in the Fort Cobb School system. Lois and Andrew James (A.J.) Taylor were married on August 18, 1978. Lois later moved to Anadarko and also worked as a Teachers Aide. She was also employed by Hollytex Carpet Mills, First State Bank and was a Deputy Court Clerk in the Caddo County Clerks Office. Her illness recently forced her into retirement.

Lois was a member of Greater First Baptist Church in Anadarko. Before her health declined she was a very active member, where she served as Usher, Womens Mission and Deaconess.

Lois loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and loved them dearly. They were such a bright spot in her life and she received so much joy from their presence. She was an avid OU Sooners and Oklahoma City Thunder fan. She spent numerous evenings cheering on the Thunder and calling her sister Brinda to complain or talk about the exciting plays.
