Beverly "Bev" Taylor

Beverly A. Taylor, 66, of Jaffrey died suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Wednesday August 30, 2017 while her husband was by her side.

She was born on May 15, 1951 in Fitchburg, MA, a daughter of the late Eino and Irene (Gravel) Helstein.

Raised and educated in Mason, NH, Beverly had attended Appleton Academy. In 1975 she met Vernon ‘Butch’ Taylor and they married on August 27, 1977.

Bev lovingly raised her family and remained busy at home. She was very active lifetime member of the American Legion Auxiliary at the John Humiston American Legion Post #11 in Jaffrey and enjoyed volunteering in many ways throughout the communities of Jaffrey and Rindge. Later, she worked as a manager at Rite Aid in Jaffrey and for the past 11 years had been working at CarQuest in Jaffrey.

When Butch retired from his Military Career in 2000, they were able to travel around the country for a while before buying their home in Jaffrey and settling down. Through her life, Bev had always loved the ocean and lighthouses, enjoyed cheering for her Red Sox and playing Bingo.

Bev was blessed to have celebrated being married to the love of her life for 40 years just this past Sunday.
