Ms. Veronica Taylor

Veronica Arnez “Ronnie” Taylor was born on July 31, 1961, in Georgetown, Kentucky, to the late Phillip Marvin Taylor and Barbara Ann (Hale) Taylor. She was also preceded in death by her beloved son, Jared Taylor. Veronica unexpectedly departed this life on Sunday, August 24, 2025, after a brief illness. Veronica accepted Christ at an early age at Zion Baptist Church in Georgetown, Kentucky. After moving to Lexington with her family, she became a member of Pilgrim Baptist Church. Presently and for the majority of her adult years, she was a member of Southland Christian Church (Richmond Road campus), where she was deeply loved by the congregation. She also enjoyed visiting many churches in and around the Lexington area. She attended Bryan Station Senior High School, where she was active in the school band and ran track. In the early 1980s, she was known as the female bass guitarist in a local band called “Search.” Veronica later worked for many years at H&R Block, where she enjoyed serving her clients with dedication and care. Later in life, she pursued her passion for helping others by earning a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Bluegrass Community and Technical College. Veronica was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She leaves behind to cherish her memory: her son, Terry Phillip Taylor Jr.; six grandchildren—Shannon Tonge, Kingston Mays, Ta’Rieke Taylor, Ta’Liah Taylor, Zhion Cayson, and Zyana Cayson; a brother, Rodretuez “Donnie” Wilson; sisters, Phyllis Ann Taylor and LaTonka Taylor; a niece Jasmine Gray-Laguerre (Hernz); aunts Mary Suter, Pauline Downing, and Patsy (Irvin) Mundell; uncles Leslie (Patricia) Taylor and Steve (Connie) Burdette; as well as a host of great-aunts, a great-uncle, cousins, and special cousins, Nada Marie Taylor and Anthony (Stacey), and many dear friends. Veronica loved the Lord with all her heart and never hesitated to share her faith. One of her favorite sayings to her grandchildren was, “We are living on borrowed time.” She will be remembered for her warm smile, kind heart, and the love she poured into everyone around her. She will be deeply missed but will remain forever in our hearts.
