Taylor Dominque Saunders, 28, of Massillon, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on October 25, 2025. She was born on December 1, 1996 in Massillon to Carlton and Gilda Saunders.

Taylor was a 2015 graduate of Massillon Washington High School. She was working at Shearer's Foods with her father, Carlton, where her coworkers appreciated and loved her. Taylor was known and loved by many, she had a pure heart, and a kind soul. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, trying new foods, and supporting those around her. She was a wonderful sister, mother, daughter, and friend. More than anything in the world, Taylor loved her kids, and loved being a mom. She was there for them in any way she could be, and they always brought a smile to her face. She had the best smile, and an unforgettable sense of joy.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Audrey Albright, Jesse Saunders, and June Autrey; and cousin, Khi'Zire Conley.

Taylor is survived by her four loving children, Aubrii, Mylah, Zai'lee, and Niyelle; father, Carlton (Tina) Saunders; mother, Gilda Saunders; siblings, Alexis Saunders, Katie Saunders, Haylee Saunders, Carlton Saunders II, and Jezzy Saunders; cousins, Deavon Thompson, Audrianna Conley, Lamar Conley and Markell Conley; and her best friend, Taz Baylock.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, with details to come.
