Graveside services for Jimmy Joe Taylor, 85, West Plains, Missouri, will be held at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, January 9, 2022, at Howell Memorial Park Cemetery, with Brother Bobby Brazeal officiating, under the direction of Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
Mr. Taylor passed away at 6:00 p.m., Sunday, January 2, 2022, at Ozarks Healthcare in West Plains.
He was born March 28, 1936, at home near West Plains, the son of William O. and Pearl A. Van Wort Taylor. He received his education in the schools of Howell County and on June 27, 1964, was married at Thayer, Missouri, to Mary Jo Brewer. Mr. Taylor worked several jobs during his youth. In 1963, he began a 29-and-a-half-year career working for the telephone companies that serviced the south-central Missouri region, including Western Power, Light and Telephone; Centel; Contel; and GTE, making numerous friends and acquaintances along the way. Following his retirement from the phone company, he worked for seven years for Kimbrough Trucking in West Plains. In his spare time, Mr. Taylor enjoyed woodworking and was able to use his unique ability to envision patterns to complete many pieces of furniture for family and friends, including tables, shelves, quilt racks, beds, vanities, and china cabinets. For a time, he sold his hand-made calendar frames at Time and Talent near West Plains. Mr. Taylor was a Christian, coming to know Jesus as his personal savior as an adult. He attended First Baptist Church and First Church of God, both in West Plains, before health issues made attendance impossible.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, David Taylor; four sisters, Crystal Ellison, Earldean Cantrell, Juanita Smith, and Rosemary Taylor, and several half-siblings.
