Edward Joseph Taylor Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Edward Joseph Taylor, age 78, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on January 11, 2018. He was born on January 1, 1940 to Theodore J. and Marcella (Spenthoff) Taylor. He learned strength and determination at an early age, as he did not let his polio diagnosis slow him down. As a proud member of the first graduating class at St. Francis de Sales High School, he learned a love of tinkering and draftsmanship. He married the love of his life, Barbara Ann Schlagheck in 1964 and was married for 46 years. He continued his passion of tinkering as a CNC operator for over 30 years, retiring in 1990. He was quite the character, full of corny jokes and a beautiful singing voice. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Barbara Taylor; his parents; his brothers Theodore, Norman, Leonard, and Raymond; and his sisters Dorothy, Mary Alice, Roseann, and Marcella. He is survived by his children, William Taylor, Angela (Amjad) Odeh, and Pamela (Robert) Denner; grandchildren Nadia Mustafa, Ian Denner, and Evan Denner; and brothers Jack (Pat), and Don (Bev). Friends may visit at the Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 S. Reynolds Rd. on Monday, January 15, from 2:00-8:00 p.m., with a rosary service at 7:00. Funeral services will begin Tuesday, January 16, at 9:30 a.m. at Coyle Funeral Home, followed by a mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 at St. Patrick of Heatherdowns Church. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery. Those wishing to give a memorial contribution can give to Ashanti Hospice of Toledo or St. Patrick's of Heatherdowns. The family wishes to especially thank the caring staff at Ashanti Hospice and Sunset House. Your kindness is beyond measure.
