Ms. Crystal Taylor

Crystal Ann Taylor was born September 2, 1970 at Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado to her parents Larry Jay Taylor and Majorie (Ginger) Dale Taylor. Crystal was a lifelong resident of east Denver and attended Manual High School and continued later in life to obtain her GED. She has three surviving sisters: Ronnett Turner, Cherita Taylor and Sylvia Tombs. Crystal and Cherita were inseparable, united, and constant companions that took care of one another throughout their lives. They grew up together and had children about the same time and created an inseparable family. As a young girl she enjoyed fishing with her father and gardening and cooking with her grandmother, Dorothy Taylor. Crystal loved music and as a child was a member of the East Side Pop Patrollers (ESP dance group). She had a love for animals and cooked some mean ribs. She loved to “be cozy” in soft pajamas and warm robes. She made it her mission to apply the beautiful blessings of generosity and kindness to help and support the lives of others. She was a good listener, kept it confident but kept it real - she was not afraid to speak her mind. She did not “primp” and took pride in doing her own self care with hair and nails. When the family got together she lit the room up with her smile and laughter. One of her biggest and life-changing accomplishments was completing and graduating from CENIKOR. This was extremely impactful in bringing her children together. In 1989 her first born Lavelle Taylor entered the world followed by Trevon, Lavay (Dale) and Ginger Taylor. Lavelle was often her strength, protector, and motivation. Trevon always made her smile. Dale always had a special place in her life with his kindness and love. She would light up when Dale danced. Ginger was her best friend, rock, and sounding board and Crystal was looking forward to her first granddaughter. Crystal was proceeded in death by her mother Ginger, her grandmother Dorothy Taylor and her nephew Tyre Falls. Those who cherish her memory include her loving and dedicated family: Father Larry Taylor, Sons and Daughter: Lavelle Taylor, Trevon Bellemy, Lavay Dale Taylor, and Ginger Taylor. Sisters and Brothers: Cherita Taylor, Ronnett Turner (husband Darin Turner), Sylvia Tombs, Layron Triggs, Frankie Green Grandchildren: Javelle Taylor, Jeremiah Taylor, Jamiere Taylor, Avier Garrett Nephews and Nieces: Layron Taylor, Jerome Falls, Tyre Falls, Darian Turner, Raquel Turner, Nashara Tombs And many other relatives and close friends. As Grandma used to say, “Crystal Ann Elizabeth, a job well done!”
