Sally Blanch (Ford) Taylor

Sally Blanch Ford Taylor, 81, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026.

Born on March 6, 1945, Sally was the daughter of Ralph Ford and Mary Young Ford. From a young age, Sally had a natural love for caring for others. She carried that compassion throughout her life and turned it into a career as a Home Health CNA, where she dedicated herself to helping and caring for those in need.

Sally found joy in the simple things in life. In her free time, she enjoyed working crossword puzzles, canning vegetables, and, most of all, spending time with her family and friends. She was also an active and faithful member of Foscoe Christian Church, where her faith and fellowship were an important part of her life.

Sally was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Mary Ford; her husband, Edgar “Tude” Taylor; her grandson, Eric Kaczmarczyk; and her siblings, Ed, Max, Allen, Merrit, Doris, Sudie, Glannie, Mavis, Bertha, and an infant brother and sister.

She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory, including her children, Lisa Kaczmarczyk (Robert) and Linda Denny (Buck); grandchildren, Brandi Dickens (Marvin) and Emily Denny; great-grandchildren, Taylor and Olivia Kaczmarczyk, Mason and Logan Dickens, and Caroline Stern; siblings, Sylvia Burns (Ronnie), Charlotte Isaacs, Christine Moretz, Mariam Pitts, and Marie Jones; and sisters- and brothers-in-law, Denver Taylor, Leverin Shoffner, Martha Ford and Christine Ford. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Sally will be remembered for her caring heart, her devotion to her family, her faith, and the love she so freely gave to others. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, but her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

A Celebration of Life for Sally will be held on November 7, 2026 at 12:30 PM at her home. Graveside services will be private.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Foscoe Christian Church.
