Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Kay Annette (Kellerman) Taylor followed the path God laid for her and left it all on Tuesday, May 2, 2017, peacefully at home at the age of 62.
She was born November 6, 1954, in Oshkosh to Arlyn and Joyce (Eckstein) Kellerman. Kay was raised in Winneconne and graduated with honors from Winneconne High, class of 1973.
On August 3, 1979, she married Robert Louis Taylor and they lived most of their 37 year marriage in Appleton.
Some of her greatest accomplishments include raising two successful, thrifty, and family-oriented daughters, and her 32 years of dedicated employment at Woodward Communications, Inc. where she will be irreplaceable.
Kay could never be caught without a mystery novel in hand, and she eternally rooted for her boys in green and gold.
She was a member of Riverview Lutheran Church in Appleton.
Kay is survived by her husband, Robert Taylor, of Appleton; daughters, Amanda (Jason) Bavinck, of De Pere; Stephanie (Judge Jr.) Finley, of Neenah; her cherished and adored grandson, Gabriel Finley; and her grandpuppies, Brimley and Briggs. She is also survived by her mother, Joyce Kellerman, of Winneconne; brothers, Glen Sr. (Jody) Kellerman, of Greenville; Gary (Carol) Kellerman, of Oshkosh; sisters, Gail Kellerman, of Winneconne; Kim Kellerman, of Neenah; Karla (Tim) Zeinert, of Winchester; nieces, nephews, great-aunts, cousins, extended family, and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Arlyn Kellerman.
A visitation for family and friends will be on Saturday, May 6, 2017, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church 8 S. Fourth St. Winneconne. A funeral service will be held on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at the church with Pastor Adam Bode officiating. Burial will be in Lake View Memorial Park, Oshkosh.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established in Kay's name.

Aunt Joyce and cousins, Bob and girls,
What shock you must all be in! In all of our opinions, Kay is gone too soon. But we have to trust our loving Heavenly Father that this is part of His plan. Hold on to the hope that Kay is enjoying the perfect peace of heaven where we shall all join her one day because of Jesus. Our hearts ache with yours.
