SHARON E. TAYLOR

April 25, 1941 – November 7, 2026

Sharon E. Taylor, 85, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 7, 2026. She was born in Toledo, Ohio, on April 25, 1941, to Warren Rahm and Alice (Windle) Hubbell.

Sharon married Ray Taylor in 1958, and together they shared 63 wonderful years of marriage. As a young woman, Sharon attended Toledo Public Schools and Libbey High School, where she enjoyed doing hair and makeup for school theater productions.

Sharon was known for her artistic talents, creativity, and thoughtful gifts. She loved making homemade crafts and hand-painted sweatshirts for family and friends, sharing her creativity with the people she loved. She and Ray also enjoyed taking road trips together, visiting casinos in Michigan, Windsor, Las Vegas, and destinations throughout the country.

Her sons have many fond memories growing up camping with Mom, Dad, and the entire family at Sugarloaf, Vineyard Lake, and Sterling State Park. Whether camping or celebrating the holidays, Sharon made sure no one ever went hungry, and her big meals became a cherished part of every gathering.

Sharon was lovingly known as "G-Ma" to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her grandchildren will always remember family board games, cozy holiday gatherings, watching movies together, delicious meals, grandma and grandpa on the sidelines of many sports games and band performances, and the warmth that grandma shared towards them all.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, Warren Rahm and Alice Hubbell; her husband, Ray; and brother-in-law, Michael Shipman.

She is survived by her sons, Mark (Linda), Kevin (Becky), and David (Shirley); her sister and best friend, Nancy Shipman; her brothers, Bruce Dross (Lilia) and Calvin Hubbell III (Sandy); her grandchildren, Ryan (Lacey), Rachel (James), Alyssa (Kaylee), Seth (Grace), Jacob (Samantha), and Wyatt; her great-grandchildren, Grace, Gabrielle, Lucas, Jason, Joshua, Levi, Sebastian, Parker, Ashton, Meredith, and Harrison; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
