A Great Meadows native, Taylor worked as a direct support professional for Abilities of NW Jersey and was a loving mother to her two kids, Layla Knoop and Frankie Lee Golovko, her obituary says.
A GoFundMe launched in Taylor's memory had raised more than $9,200 as of press time.
"Taylor has two young beautiful daughters that will now have to grow up without their mommy so my family and I are doing whatever is needed for them to be well taken care of and live a happy life," writes Taylor's sister, Cortney.
Taylor's obituary also remembered her as a gifted artist who enjoyed nature and was "a bit of a hippie."
