Debbie Jean Taylor was born Aug. 11, 1966, to Cecil and Beverly Wade of Pomeroy. She lost her battle with pulmonary fibrosis on Saturday, April 6, 2024.
Debbie graduated from Pomeroy High School in 1985. She worked at Memory Manor in Pomeroy after marrying her high school sweetheart, LeeRay Taylor, on Aug. 2, 1986. After having her children, she decided to go back to school at Walla Walla Community College where she received her medical assistant certification. She worked at Dr. Black’s office in Clarkston for a couple of years then transferred to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center as a rehab assistant; she stayed there until her divorce. She then worked at being an in-home caretaker until she got sick.
Debbie loved helping people, it was something that she never got tired of doing. She loved making jewelry, watching wild animals, shopping, her dogs Chewy, Tazi, Colt and just being with the people she loved.
She is survived by her son Kristopher Taylor (Alyssa Taylor), daughter Lindsey Kelly (Tim Kelly), sisters Connie Larson (Duane Larson), twin Tammy Norland (Kaare Norland), sister-in-law Kim Wade, nine nieces and nephews, six grandchildren, and 10 great-nieces and nephews.
