MILFORD - Sara A. Taylor of Milford died Friday, April 20, 2007, at Bayhealth-Milford Memorial Hospital, Milford. She was 94.
Miss Taylor was born on Nov. 19, 1912, in Felton, daughter of the late Arthur M. and Helen (Franklin) Taylor.
After graduating from college with a teaching degree, Sara decided it was not her true calling and enrolled in the Wilmington College Nurses Training School where she graduated as a registered nurse in 1935.
She was a veteran of the United States Army serving in France and England during World War II in the Nursing Corps.
She worked in a small medical unit in a Wilmington hospital after graduation as a head nurse for six years and then was employed for several years with the Delaware State Public Health Department in Dover.
Miss Taylor then joined the U.S. Army where she completed an Army nurses training school specializing in war injuries and spent the next 11 months in service to her country oversees. Upon returning home, she accepted a nursing position with Wilmington Hospital in 1951 and remained there until retiring in 1973.
After returning to Milford, Sara spent several years as a nurse with Milford Memorial Hospital.
Miss Taylor enjoyed birds and nature and always spoke passionately of her experiences and the great rewards associated with them in her years of nursing.
She was a member of the Avenue United Methodist Church in Milford and the Mary Circle there.
In addition to her parents, Miss Taylor was preceded in death by two brothers, William A. Taylor and G. Franklin Taylor.
She is survived by two nieces, Christine T. Chappelle of Middletown and Nancy Poinsett of Lewes; and a nephew, John W. Taylor of Swansboro, N.C.
Services will be held at noon on Monday at Rogers Funeral Home, 301 Lakeview Ave., Milford, where friends may call one hour prior.
Burial with military honors will be held in the Hollywood Cemetery in Harrington.
Instead of flowers, the family has suggested memorial contributions to the Avenue United Methodist Church, Building Fund, 20 N. Church St., Milford, DE, 19963; or to the Delaware Veterans Home Fund, 100 Delaware Veterans Drive, Milford, DE, 19963.
