Lavonne Taylor

Lavonne Taylor, age 80, of Louisville, TN passed away peacefully into the arms of her Heavenly Father, Monday, December 7, 2020 after a long fight with Parkinson’s disease. Lavonne was a member of Sevier Heights Baptist Church, Knoxville, TN. She was devoted to and loved her family and church family. Lavonne enjoyed cooking, interior decorating, and fashion, was an incredible seamstress and enjoyed making porcelain dolls. Although Parkinson’s took away her ability to easily accomplish the hobbies she so loved, she leaves behind memories and treasures for those who loved her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Effie Ramey; husband of 55 years, Kenneth Doyle Taylor; and daughter, Rhonda Jannette “Jan” Taylor.

She leaves behind to mourn her passing her loving daughter, Jill Stichka and husband, Lee of West Monroe, LA; sister, Thetta Sue Hensley of Maryville, TN; and a host of extended family and friends that will miss her greatly.

Thank you to the staff of Savannah Grand Assisted Living of West Monroe, LA and Louisiana Hospice and Palliative Care of Monroe, LA. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation. Friends may call at your convenience on Thursday December 10th and Friday, December 11th from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Lavonne will be laid to rest beside her husband at Grandview Cemetery in Maryville, TN.
