She was a long-time member of Greater Spirit of Love, Church of God in Christ, under the leadership of her brother, late Superintendent Paul Taylor, Jr. She later became known as Mother Taylor at Faith Tabernacle Apostolic under Pastor Lillie Cantrell. With her funny sense of humor, she always drew a crowd in wherever she went, the young and old. Joan Taylor was called “Granny” by many.
