Bonnie Alice Taylor

Bonnie Alice Taylor, 74, born on July 5th, 1951, in St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2025, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Bonnie was the daughter of Amel and Helen Rector (Berry) and grew up surrounded by the values of family. Over the years, she developed a quiet strength and enjoyed a simple life. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Angela Tiefenauer of Fredericktown, Missouri, Darlene Loudermilk of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Jesse Taylor of Park Hills, Missouri. Bonnie’s life was full with 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren - with one more expected - each of whom brought her immense joy and pride. Her sister, Donna Toole (Rector) of Frederick, Missouri also survives her and shares in the memory of their lifelong bond. Bonnie was preceded in death by her parents, Amel and Helen, her sister, Beverly Klecka (Rector) and her beloved infant son, John W. Taylor, Jr., whose memory remained close to her heart throughout her life. Bonnie enjoyed doing word searches, watching movies and playing the organ. Bonnie was a Christian and had great faith in God. Her presence will be deeply missed by family and friends. A Memorial service will be held at a later date.
