Ola Faye Taylor

Her Story

Today, we celebrate the life of Ola Faye Taylor, also known as “Ms. Faye”. 

Faye was born on January 8, 1930 in Lovelady, Texas to Wert and Mary Stella York.  She accepted Christ at Pleasant Hill Methodist Church in Lovelady, Texas.  As a youth, she  attended Center Grove High School in Lovelady and later received her Bachelor’s degree in Education from Mary Allen College in Crockett, Texas.

On December 8, 1951, Faye united in Holy Matrimony with the love of her life, Will O. Taylor.  To this union, four children were born; Kenny, Donny, Linda and Barry.

Faye and W.O. relocated to Houston, Texas and joined Gospel Hill Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. Thomas Calhoun, Sr.  She continued her faith walk under the late Rev. Robert Hobly and the current pastor, Rev. Floyd W. Young.

Faye was a home day-care operator.  She loved children.  For many years, she displayed her love by working with the neighborhood day-care center.  She was a mother to many and affectionately adopted many of the neighborhood children.  She always had an encouraging word for anyone that met her.

On Tuesday, July 26, 2022, Faye entered into eternal rest. She was preceded in death by her husband, son (Frederick Kenny Taylor), four brothers (Frederick Wesley Hordge, Johnny Hordge, Roman Hordge and Mack “Sonny” York), four sisters (Minnieola York Bailey, Ella Roberts Esco, Zera Bass and Ollie Esther Hubert) and three god-children (Sandra Sandoz, Weldon Renfro and Debra Sandoz Harrison).

Left to honor her life and cherish her memory are two sons, Donny R. Taylor (Gwendolyn) and Barry Taylor; one daughter, Linda Harrison (Donald); four grandchildren, Brandon Morris, Donny Taylor, Jr. (Jaride), Chanel Taylor and Nichole Taylor; three great-grandchildren, Campbell Taylor, Ethan Archie and Shawn Archie; god-daughter, Jennifer Marie Johnson and a host of adopted god-children, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
