Lillian Pearl Taylor

Lillian Pearl Taylor, 90 years old, transitioned peacefully into eternity and into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 21, 2014 at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue Washington.  Days before she passed she began to receive glimpses of heaven which she described in detail. It made her giddy sometimes. These will be shared at her Memorial Services.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8

So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.  For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.  NKJV

Lillian was born on August 16, 1923 in Birmingham, Alabama to William Pierce Brock and Letha Pearl Bryant. She grew up in Birmingham Alabama and married James Lewis Taylor in 1940 in Hoagtown, Alabama.
