“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Psalm 116:15
Florine Taylor, a devoted woman of faith and quiet prayer warrior, was born on March 14, 1945, in Colfax, Louisiana, and peacefully entered eternal rest on January 14, 2026. A sweet and humble servant of the Lord, Florine lived a life marked by unwavering faith, gentle strength, and steadfast devotion to God.
She was a faithful member of New Beginning Church under the leadership of Elder Charles Williams, where she consistently attended services and uplifted others through prayer. Florine’s walk with Christ was evident in her kindness, her calm spirit, and her commitment to living according to God’s Word. She retired from Southside Virginia Training Center after years of dedicated service.

She leaves to cherish her loving memory her daughter, Kenya Taylor; her sisters, Lizzie Jones, Frances Bonier, and Elizabeth Horton (Willie); and her brothers, Lourenzia Bonier and Isaiah Bonier (Angela). She was a proud and loving grandmother to three granddaughters, Shandrika McLaughlin (Raymond), Valisa Taylor, and Sa’myra Stith; and two grandsons, Hodari Taylor and Jamari McLaughlin. She is also survived by one great-grandson, Amarri Branch.
Florine also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews; devoted friends, Barbara Worsham, Pearl Williams, and Judy Blackwell; and extended family members, Michelle Washington, Nichelle Lewis, Le’chele Salter-Lee, Makeisha Winfield, Patrice Shuford, Tonnessa Scott, Hope Monroe, and Faith Tucker.

All the years I was blessed to know Ms. Taylor, her quiet spirit, genuine heart, and faithful posture never changed.
You welcomed me in as family. You were always kind, and you loved my family and my children so well. For that, I am forever grateful. We will miss you greatly down here, but we find comfort and joy knowing you have received your heavenly reward, absent from this earth and present with the Lord.
Take your rest, Ms. Taylor. Job well done.
Until we meet again ❤
