Jacquelyn "Jackie" Marie Taylor, 68, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, July 4, 2022. Jacquelyn Marie (Gorath) Taylor was born on September 11, 1953 in Rochester, MN to parents Henry and Virginia (Farrand) Gorath. She was one of six children. Jackie grew up in Rochester and graduated from John Marshall High School. She began her career at C & G Claims Service, and later went on to waitressing.

Jackie's hobbies included reading, playing cards or board games with her grandchildren, knitting booties and blankets for all of her great-grandchildren, watching anything with Betty White, and spending time outdoors.
