Missing and honoring Jimmye Taylor RN today as I learned she went to be with the Lord. She hired me as a surgical tech in 2003 and was my OR manager, then OR circulator when she stepped down from leadership. We were an amazing team for seven years doing eye surgery . She inspired and mentored me through Nursing school. She pinned me at my nurse pinning ceremony. She retired just after I graduated RN school. I am and RN in part because of her. I have missed talking to her. I love her so much and look forward to seeing her again one day. - Mel Hargrove
I met Jimmye in a Bible class when I was in nursing school in 1977. We clicked immediately and became best friends. She was the reason I became an operating room nurse and for several years we worked together at St. John's Hospital in Tulsa OK. She was easy to love, thoughtful, kind, and wise. Over 35 years we talked every Saturday morning no matter where we lived and visited each other twice a year. We made a trek to Europe in 2009 where we covered Austria and Italy by car for eleven days making so many precious memories, a trip we had planned for years. I will miss her every day until I see her again. Love you Jennifer.
We are so saddened by the loss of sweet Jimmye. She was loved and adored by all who knew her! She was smart, beautiful, funny, and fun - and always a gracious host and friend. A fond memory I have of her is when she and her precious daughter (my bestie and maid of honor, Jen) hosted my bridesmaids’ luncheon at their lovely home. She was a good friend to my mother, and Mom loved her so. Jimmye was a remarkable woman who loved others well. We are all better for having known her in this lifetime, and what a day of rejoicing that’ll be when we see her again for eternity.
