Published by Legacy on Oct. 6, 2025.
Michelle Lee Taylor (Davis), age 71, passed away on September 28, 2025, in Dover, Delaware.

Born on January 4, 1954, Michelle was the mother of Samantha Staats (husband Lloyd Staats III) and Elizabeth Taylor. She was a grandmother to Sara Routh, Samia Routh, Jere Taylor-Andrews, Shaun Routh, Sheyana Taylor-Andrews, and Xzaviair Taylor-Andrews, and a great-grandmother to Azariah Williams and Nyomi Reeves.

Michelle will be cremated and laid to rest with her late husband, Claude Taylor, who preceded her in death in 2000.

She is no longer in pain. We hope she rests in peace and love, joined with family and friends who passed before her.
