Nancy Taylor Obituary

Published by Monaghan Funeral Home and Cremation Services - Mechanicsville on Jan. 30, 2018.

TAYLOR, Nancy Gale Tignor, 78, of Mechanicsville went to be with her Lord on Sunday, January 28, 2018. Born Friday, January 26, 1940, in Richmond, Virginia. She was preceded in death by her parents, Aubrey Wilson Tignor, Sr. and Martha Jennings 'Jane' (Deaner) Tignor and her brother, Aubrey Wilson Tignor, Jr. Nancy is survived by her husband of 59 years, Robert William Taylor, 3 sons, Barry William Taylor, Stuart Wayne Taylor (Kim), and Travis Wray Taylor (Anne); 2 grandchildren, Justin Ryan Taylor (Kathryn) and Alexa Nicole Taylor; and 2 step-grandchildren, Chelsea Marie Stabler and Ian Kendall Waite. She loved being ""Nannie"" to her grandchildren. Nancy also leaves to cherish her loving memory, her double first cousin, Fay Tignor Moss (Calvin); her sister-in-law, Peggy Eanes Tignor; her best friend Beverly Sutton (Tommy); and a host of other relatives and friends. Nancy graduated in 1958 from John Marshall High School. She was a ""band girl"" during high school and again fifty years later for the John Marshall Alumni Band in support of her husband. Nancy was a housewife following the birth of her first son. She was active in PTA from the time her first child entered school until many years after her last child had graduated. She held many PTA offices at the local, district, and state levels, serving as Virginia PTA President from 1991-1993 and having as the theme of her presidency ""All Children-Our Children"". She was active in supporting the adoption of ""May the Month for Children"" at the state level. Nancy was also, for many years, a fixture at the Hanover County School Board meetings, attending to advocate for all children and their education. Nancy enjoyed supporting and being involved in the sports her children and grandchildren participated in including; swimming, basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. Nancy was an expert seamstress, loved sewing and making clothes, including doll clothes for family and friends. She enjoyed crocheting baby blankets and other items for family, friends, her doctors, dentists, and nurses; giving others warmth and a reminder of her love. Nancy was known for her unending generosity, dedicated love for others, and her clever and quick-witted sense of humor. She possessed an unrelenting will to fight even during the most challenging times that serves as an inspiration to those she leaves behind. She was a trusted confidante who listened and provided honest feedback without judgement to many throughout her life. Those who sought to comfort her during her many physical challenges were comforted themselves by simply being in her presence. She will be greatly missed by the many lives she touched. Nancy loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, was a lifelong Southern Baptist, and lived her faith by loving others as Jesus would. She was most recently a member of Harvest Christian Fellowship. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at Monaghan Funeral Home; 7300 Creighton Pkwy., Mechanicsville, VA 23111, where services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 1, 2018, with Interment to follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
