On August 10, Jeane Taylor of Mooresville, N.C., and formerly of Pittsburgh, died at age 95.

Jeane grew up on Mt. Washington, where she loved to roller skate to the library. After graduating from South Hills High School, Jeane went to work at Equitable Gas. At the end of WW II, she married Robert Taylor and they eventually bought a home in Castle Shannon, where they lived for 63 years. Jeane finished her working career with Proctor & Gamble.

Jeane was a wordsmith. She loved puzzles of all kinds, she wrote a comic strip for her family poking fun at her own foibles, wrote special recollections of her time growing up during the Depression and wrote countless poems, both sentimental and humorous. Primarily, Jeane was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and sister-in-law.
