Helen Jean Taylor
November 30, 8382 - January 11, 2017

Helen Jean Taylor, 94, of Shallotte Point, NC, formerly of St. Clairsville, OH, passed away January 11,

2017 at the Lower Cape Fear Hospice House in Bolivia, NC.

She was born December 12, 1922 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, a daughter of the late Thomas and Lil

(Rothermund) Scheehle.

In addition to her parents, Helen was predeceased by her husband, William A. Taylor, sons William “Bill”

Taylor and John “Jack” Taylor, and siblings, Betty McConville, Robert Scheehle, Jack Scheehle, and Joan

Campbell.

She is survived by three of her five children; Jeffrey Taylor of Strasburg, VA, Diane Madison of Shallotte

Point, NC, and Matthew Taylor of Reno, NV. Helen is also survived by two of her six siblings, Blanche

Hagan of Thornville, OH and Alice (Vince) Lucarelli of St. Clairsville, OH, and many grandchildren and

great-grandchildren.

Helen graduated in 1939 from Martins Ferry High School at a young age of 16 because, as she never

missed an opportunity to remind her family, she was able to “skip the 4 th grade.” She was a former

member of Calvary Presbyterian Church in St. Clairsville, OH. In her later years she enjoyed traveling to

visit her children and grandchildren around the country. She also enjoyed playing BINGO, gardening and

sewing. She was affectionately known as the “Apron Lady” at the Shallotte Farmer’s Market where she

sold her handmade aprons for the past 8 years.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 11:00 am at Calvary Presbyterian

Church, St. Clairsville, OH with Rev. Terry Lucarelli officiating.

Memorial donations may be made to the Brunswick Lower Cape Fear Hospice House, 955 Mercy Lane,

Bolivia, NC 28422 or Calvary Presbyterian Church, 100 South Marietta Street, St. Clairsville, OH 43950.
