Help Taylor's Family Through This Heartbreaking Time

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of Taylor’s sudden passing due to an unexpected cardiac event. Taylor was a 31-year-old wife and mother with the biggest, purest heart and a kind soul who touched the lives of everyone around her.

Taylor was a loving wife to Bryce and their three beautiful children, who were her entire world. She poured her heart into raising them with kindness. She was the sweet little sister of Zack Smith and Brandy Cody, who knew her as "Tay Tay".

She had a passion for helping others, whether it was a friend or animal in need. She was a teacher (Miss Taylor) at Little Lambs Preschool, then she worked at the YMCA, where she provided care and support for children with special needs. She volunteered for animal rescues and adopted a feral Chihuahua rescued from a hoarding situation, earning his trust when no one else could. She also adopted a mini Golden Doodle born with birth defects, proving that her heart had no limits.

Now, Taylor’s family is facing an unimaginable loss with her oldest child's birthday and holidays approaching. We are raising funds to ensure her husband and kids have what they need as they begin this difficult new chapter without their incredible mother. Every dollar raised will go directly to covering funeral costs and provide immediate support for her husband and children to help them navigate this transition.

Taylor had the biggest heart, always giving to those in need. Now, we hope to honor her legacy by coming together to help her family. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and support during this heartbreaking time.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a significant impact. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser will help us reach others who might be able to lend their support.
