She was born on August 28, 1934 in Marion County to the late Richard and Joanna Rogers. She was a graduate of Bethel School in Britton’s Neck, SC. 

In 1955, shortly after school she began her love story with Curtis Lee Taylor right here in their hometown of Britton’s Neck. They enjoyed their daytime rides, and truly loved doing everything together. Of their union, three sons were born; affectionately known to her as Lo, Rick, and Pete.
