Taylor Whipple Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 4, 2025.
Taylor Lee Whipple November 7, 2001 - December 18, 2024

The world became a better place when Taylor adventured the cosmic abyss to join earth on

November 7, 2001. She was a precious bestowal to her parents Cory and Kinnaly and to

everyone else who had the opportunity to connect with her while she was in this life passage.

Taylor was a loyal daughter, sister and friend. She cared for her parents and siblings with a

fierceness and fight that matched her energy when she was boxing in the ring. Her heart was a

force so powerful that anyone who knew her was able to feel the beat and the strength of it. Her

friends and family knew that she had their backs and she was in their corner and if you needed

anything she would rally to the cause and be there for you in a way no one else could.

She was a gifted writer and an avid reader. Her poetry was more than just words. The way

Taylor saw and described the world was verse and inspiring. Even in the most normal

exchanges she was able to add depth and insight that was beyond this world; making

everything minstrel. Her interests varied and shifted because she was always open to learning

about something fresh or new. Taylor had an open mind which allowed her to be brave,

accepting and kind. She loved music, art, fashion, and people. She enjoyed learning and

experimenting. She desired to make everything better for everyone; often at her own expense.

She believed in karma, affection, and the worth of a soul. She gravitated towards nature, the

spirits, the power of the earth, crystals and the energy of the world.

Taylor saw the beauty in others. She saw the world as a work of art and was always curious

about things large and small. She was random, quirky, a bit clumsy and never followed the

beaten path. She was an abysmal driver. She didn't fit a mold or stereotype and because of that

she was one of the most interesting people to be in contact with. She did things her way, at her

time which allowed her to accomplish what she was after. Doing things her way made them

unique, spontaneous and beautiful. She brought a vigorous exertion of power and force to any

room that she entered and everyone could feel her magic radiate towards them.

She was loved by her grandparents; both sets taking interest and turns ensuring she was

cherished and taken care of. She was equally loved by the Turpin Family who took her in as

their own and cousins' bonds became more like siblings. Her siblings adored her and were

protected and cared for by a dotting and sheltering big sister. Extended family would often hear

from Taylor at the oddest moments, just for a quick chat or check in; she made sure to stay

connected. Her parents created one of the greatest miracles and they were blessed to have her.

Countless relatives will listen to the wind to hear her whisper back to them. The family who loves

her: Dad, Cory Whipple; Mom, Kinnaly Nomichith; Siblings; Iezic Whipple, Nevaeh and Emoni

Green. The Turpin family as uncle and aunt took her into their home and made her one of their

own; Paul and Sawsha; Cousins who were raised with her as brothers Chandler, Carson,Connor and Colton. Grandparents; Micahel and Lavonne Whipple, Lynn and Barbara Forrester,

along with numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

The world is a better place because Taylor Whipple was in it! She will be greatly missed and can

never be replaced, but she will always be remembered. Taylor will be heard in the wind that

blows the leaves in the trees, she will be the warmth of the sun on a summer day, she'll be in

the sound of the snow when it's crunched; she is part of the energy around all of us. She is a

beautiful soul and the love she gave, and the love that is felt for her will never fade away.

A funeral service celebrating Taylor's Life will take place at 11:00 am on Friday, January 10,

2025 in the Chapel at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 S. State St. Murray, Utah. Viewing will take

place from 9:30-10:30 prior to the service, and from 6-8 pm on Thursday January 9, 2025 at

Jenkins-Soffe

Hello,

Reddit sent me here. I did not know Taylor personally, but this obituary is so full of love and so heartfelt, I just wanted to wish love to all who were lucky enough to have met her. I hope her memory brings you peace, comfort, and joy. I hope when the sun smiles on you, you think of the warmth she brought into your lives. You say she was drawn to crystals: I recommend citrine which is a stone associated with creativity, amethyst to soothe, and rose quartz which is associated with love. Of course, if you know Taylor´s favorite crystals, you could add those to the mix as well. Regardless of your own belief in crystals, I think it would be a beautiful way to carry her with you.

I wish you all the best; loss is never easy, and it sounds like she was a beautiful soul who will be with you always.

Taken on August 14, 2017.
We invited Taylor to tag along on our Carter family trip to Zion, because we knew Aspen would have a better time if she came. Im pretty sure we all did.
Her Aura was bright and sunny, and she smiled alot, with such an adorable and and humorous personality.
Taylor and Aspen had alot in common. They grew pretty close after aspens 16 b-day and through the end of high-school.
To me she was the "cool" friend who would talk to the parents sometimes and I admired that. We had some good conversations, while i would cook. We accepted her like family when she needed a friend. She was respectful, she never out stayed her welcome. Later, Taylor took over a lease with Aspen and Daylin into their first apartment It wasn't ideal but I was still very proud if my daughter and her good friend.
The last time we saw her was a year or more ago. We came to visit Aspen at her west vally place and discovered a familiar roommate. Then we invited the household to join us at Dennys. And Im glad I to got to see her one more time.
My Wife Natalie and I are proud to know Taylor Whipple. I hope these photos will bring smiles. Its a classic funny random photo of Taylor. I'd never seen someone coax a squirrel like Snow White and Cinderella. It could be the fruit snacks but I think it is her warm sun-shining spirit. R.I.P. and rest in love!
