Else Astrid Taylor, age 77, passed away on Friday, March 6, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.

Born on January 6, 1949 in Zeist, Nederland, she was the daughter of the late Jacobus and Jansje Clasina Kool Beverwijk.

Else spent years as a dedicated LPN and was known for her compassion and clinical skill.  She was a wonderful mother whose heart knew no boundaries.  Her incredible ability to love and care for those around her touched countless lives.  A talented quilter, she created works of art with love, leaving behind treasures that tell the story of her creativity and dedication.  Else loved her garden where you found tulips blooming under her care.  Her presence was a source of warmth, comfort and inspiration and her legacy of love, kindness and artistry will live on in all who knew her.

Those left to cherish her memory include her life partner, Laurie Bugg; son, Bjorn J. Taylor; daughters, Anne-Mariska Combs and Natascha Taylor; brothers, Rob, Ronald, and Frank Beverwijk and Eddy Reinholdt; Sisters, Marianne Smit, Yvonne Beverwijk, and Jacqueline Verbeek; grandchildren, Raeshell Smith, Addison Taylor, and Elijah Kann.

Thanks to all our friends and family who helped us through Else's journey.  Quilt on!
