DANVILLE, IN – Carol Elaine Vincent Taylor, 75, passed away June 22, 2022, in Avon, IN. She was born May 6, 1947, to William Harold and Margaret Fairchild Vincent in Greenville, KY. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by infant granddaughter, Elizabeth Lynn Taylor and niece Robin Duvall Vaughn.

Carol battled Parkinson’s disease for 38 years with grit, determination, and a smile on her face. It slowed her down but never stopped her. A natural beauty, she did not require makeup, just strived to always look her best. Whether going shopping, eating out or the occasional trip to Tunica, her hair was styled, nails were polished, wearing one of her many matching outfits and shoes from her vast collection. When her mobility became limited she relied on canes, decorated ones of course. As her condition required more assistance, she moved from Memphis to Danville, IN to live with her daughter, who provided a loving home until the medical team recommended 24-hour care. At Avon Health and Rehabilitation she quickly became the darling of the nursing staff. Granddaughter, Kelsey, became a staff member to help care for her Nana and thrived on pampering her with snacks, manicures, hugs, and lots of love. She was truly Nana’s Angel.  Our family wishes to extend our deepest gratitude to all those who cared for her over the years.

Our Carol was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her survivors:  sons, James Gregory (Brenda) Taylor of Piperton, TN and Jeffrey Wayne (Audrea) Taylor of Somerville, TN; daughter, Melissa Marie Taylor (Chris) Heffernan of Danville, IN; brother, James Covington (Edna) Duvall of Owensboro; grandchildren, Gracie Taylor (Tyler) Moore, Harrison Taylor, Nicholas Heffernan, Kelsey Heffernan, Preston Heffernan, Elaina Taylor, Josh Taylor, and Carley Taylor; two nephews, Jamie and Ben Duvall; several great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins; and lifelong best friend, Paula Wilkinson Finley.
