Loretta Faye (Morris) Taylor of Bradford, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, March 24, 2025, at the age of 82. She was born on December 5, 1942, to Joe and Annabelle (Cooper) Morris. On December 4, 1960, Loretta Faye Morris married Mr. Howard Taylor, and together they enjoyed 64 years of marriage.
Mrs. Taylor was a dedicated member of the Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church until her health began to decline. She had a deep love for God and enjoyed listening to gospel programming. She fought bravely until the very end. Now, her earthly body has been exchanged for a spiritual body, and she is forever in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Mrs. Taylor worked as a registered professional hairdresser until her retirement. For the past 64 years, she enjoyed being a loving wife, mother, homemaker, and farmhand. Her family will always cherish the memories of her as a devoted wife and mother.
Mrs. Taylor was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Joan Morris Darling.
She is survived by her husband, Howard Taylor of the home; three daughters, Linda Yoakum and husband, Cliffty of Dixon, Missouri, Kathy Boedeker and husband, Burt, of Bentonville, Arkansas, and Sarah Weaver and husband, Mike, of Mint Hill, North Carolina; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and a lifetime of friends.
