Runette Taylor Obituary (1935

She met her late husband Sellard in 1953, and they married on February 20, 1964. Out of their union six children were born. Runette had an agricultural job with Charles Ritter for many years as a field worker harvesting vegetables. She would gladly share those goods with family and friends. She also worked at the famous Virginia Bakery for many years. Runette worked hard for many years not knowing she was showing good work ethics adapted by her children. Runette loved sitting on her stoop, people watching, but some may say being nosey. She would make herself aware of her surroundings and the activities in the neighborhood. She also would keep a small garden, often planting tomatoes, peppers and okra, which were her favorite things. Once upon a time Runette belonged to a social club with her daughter DeLois and other ladies planning cabarets, cooking and selling soul food dinners. Runette also enjoyed going to amusement parks with the children and grandchildren. She had a special bond with most of the grandchildren often giving them funny rhyming names. She also loved sweets, cakes, cookies, candy and knew she was limited to the portions she could have but had people leaving candy in her mailbox (that was a gangster move). Of all the things that Runette loved at the top was praising the Lord which was something she did every day. She would speak His name and sing. " I Won't Complained" was belittling because she never complained. Preceded her in death was her husband Sellard, her beloved son Adam Troy, her daughter-in-law, Tonya and granddaughter, Erica. She leaves to cherish her memory three daughters: DeLois, Vivian/Beaver (Leonard) and Tawanda; three sons: Swindell of Wrightsville, GA, Wyman and Edward (Angela); sixteen grandchildren: Putrina, Kenneth, Angela, Takia, Raven, Nicole, Natalie, Yasiel, Xavier, Sellard, Amada, Adam Jr., Jessica, Takia, Claudia and Jerome; thirty-three great grandchildren; one great- great grandchild; two sisters: Lelia and Barbara (Alvin Sr.), Wrightsville, GA; two brothers: Felton, Snellville, GA and Escar, Wrightsville GA; one sister in law. Lillie Pearl/Aunt Duke of Fort Pierce, Florida. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other family and friends who will deeply miss you. Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
