Beverley Taylor (Rees)

With grace, warmth, and a gift for making others feel seen, Beverley Jane Taylor passed away in Warner Robins, Georgia, leaving behind cherished memories for all who knew her. Born in the RAF hospital at 2:20 pm on a Wednesday afternoon in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England, Beverley was a happy child. By the age of twelve her family lived in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England. Beverley carried her British roots proudly throughout her life-expressed in her love of the Royal Family, her spirited support for Ipswich Town Football Club, and her uncanny knack for thoughtful conversation and gift-giving.

An avid knitter and crocheter, Beverley found joy in crafting with her hands and connecting with others. Many benefited from the scarves she knitted for those in need without a home. Her career began at Home Depot, where she was known for her dedication and kindness, and later she devoted herself to a meaningful role as a caretaker, offering comfort and companionship to those in need.

Beverley was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Kirstie Bailey. She is survived by her parents, Michael Rees (Margaret) and Jean Freeman (Lloyd); her stepbrother, Charles Emsden (Jennifer); stepsister, Claire Barron (Emsden); and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Her legacy lives on in the love she gave freely, the conversations that were right on time, and the lovingly made gifts that now serve as quiet reminders of her generous heart.
