Mabel "Lubbie" Evans Taylor

Mabel “Lubbie” Evans Taylor of Lawrenceville, VA and Powhatan, VA passed away on January 31, 2018. She is the daughter of the late Joe and Ruby Evans and is preceded in death by her brothers, Billy Joe Evans and Earl Eugene Evans. She is survived by her husband, Phillip L. Taylor; her daughter, Wanda Myers and husband Dick; and her grandson, Taylor Myers and wife Katelyn. The word firecracker is the perfect description for Lubbie. You knew when she entered the room and if she didn't like anything, fireworks appeared. She loved her high school sweetheart, my grandfather, Phil "T" for 63 years. Her best friend in the entire world was my mother, Wanda. There wasn't a time that she and my mother were separated. Her most precious moment was watching me, her grandson draw his first breath and I was with her when she drew her last. I was her world, my mother and I were her life. My father and her son-in-law Dick, was her son she never had. She loved him and everyone worshipped her. My wife and her granddaughter-in-law, Katelyn saved her life on Sunday. She and Lubbie were mirror images of one another. We will always have a little piece of Lubbie with Katelyn. She was the most stylish woman, the most honest, the most beautiful and loving person that anyone could ever know and boy was she a fighter, a 10-year survivor of breast cancer, she was the toughest woman, I ever knew. She was the matriarch, the rock, and taught us how to live life to the fullest. Between going to the beach at Nags Head, NC, going on cruises, vacations, or watching UVA baseball games, she loved, laughed, lived, and never held back on what she wanted or said. She's now looking over everyone she loved or touched. She had the biggest heart because it had to beat for everyone she met, cared for, and loved. She's our guardian angel and our super hero wearing her pink flashy stylish cape. You'll always be my buddy buddy and palzywalzy. Fly high with Jesus my Lubbie.
