Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Phyllis Clara Taylor, age 73

Phyllis Clara Taylor, 73, was born January 23, 1950 in a house on 13th and Main in Little Rock, and passed on June 2, 2023 at her home on Petit Jean Mountain.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her father, James Phillip Hicks, mother, Lucille Gibson Hicks, and sister, Katherine Polk.
She is survived by husband of 42 years, Patrick Taylor, son, William Patrick Taylor, daughter, Erin Morel Taylor of Morrilton, grandson, Westley Taylor, and granddaughter, Amyris Taylor.
Phyllis was an oral communications and drama teacher.  She worked at Brinkley for one year and Oakdale in Rogers for 18 years where she was responsible for bringing a drama program to junior high school students. She won Teacher of the Year in 1998. She retired in 2011 and moved to her long-desired location on Petit Jean where she continued staying involved in the community by putting on programs for the EH Club. And even though her time on the mountain was cut short, her impact was big.
In lieu of flowers, please send money to the First Baptist Church on Petit Jean

    Never met anyone who was so full of joy and immediately had us all laughing non stop. She is certainly missed by many. Condolences to all her family. She went way too quickly.
