HARRIETTE IRENE
Unexpectedly on Oct. 16, 2004, Harriette Irene Taylor passed away at her home in Sewickley, PA. She was preceded in death by her husband, James E. Taylor. She was the beloved sister of Edythe Gill and Robert Gill, brother-in-law of North Port, FL, formerly of Coraopolis. Loving mother of Jeffery J. and wife Barbara Ann of Sewickley & Todd Fred and wife Melissa of Chippewa. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Thaddeus, Prescott, Torrence, Jesse, Cayman Ann, Zachary, Daniel, Great grandson Dallben and many nieces and nephews. She grew up in Brentwood as Harriette Engelhardt before moving to Baden in her early teens. She was a graduate of Ambridge High School, class of 1940. Where she was a member of the leaders club and a basketball player. For many years she was actively involved with her class reunions and fondly remembered by many in her class. She touched many lives and was well loved for her generosity and love of entertaining. Always the life of the party, hosting many, and acting out her skits with her dear close friends. The party will never be the same without her. But by the grace of God she is with her beloved husband and many of her dear departed friends hosting a party for all eternity. Please help us celebrate her life with a memorial service at The Presbyterian Church of Sewickley on Wednesday, October 20th at 4 pm. followed by a reception at the Edgeworth Club from 5 to 7 pm. Intermnet will be private.

Todd/Jeff,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. Your mother was so much fun to be with and we had some great times in Sarasota with Harriette and your Dad, Jim, before he passed away.
We will miss Harriette and hope she is now united with Jim in a better place.
Our prayers are with you and your families.

Dear Todd - Gregory shared with us the news of your mother's death. I just wanted you to know that Chris and I are thinking of you. I guess this is the stage of life that we are now facing. Chris is down in Sarasota right now, helping his parents to move into an assisted living setting. My father died last September and now you have lost both of your parents. I know for me the world has seemed strange and empty with my father gone. I imagine this is what you feel as well. I hope that as time passes, your sadness will fade and be replaced with all your very best memories of your mother. I have heard stories about her for years from Thaddeus and Gregory. You must be glad now that you always welcomed her into your life. Again, our thoughts are with you. Diane and Chris
