Marie Greaves Taylor's Obituary
Marie Greaves Taylor, 58, of Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her Cottonwood Heights home on January 15th, 2013. She had spent the previous nine years courageously fighting a brain tumor. During that time, she finished her work on this earth. Marie is survived by her loving husband, Kim, of 37 years; her sons Brad (Tricia), Spencer (Jamie), Blake (Morgan), and Steven; her parents Ted Greaves and May Nelson; her five brothers and one sister, and five tender grandchildren: Jacob, Jocelyn, Ethan, Grant, and Violet, to whom Marie was known as “Maga Marie.” She now has the privilege of meeting her sixth grandchild, Peyton Marie, whose time on earth will soon begin. Marie was born on December 22nd, 1954 in Salt Lake City. She graduated from Olympus High School in 1973, where she was named Homecoming Queen. Her sweet, humble spirit conquered everyone she met. Marie emulated the Savior in everything she did, including how she raised her boys. She set clear examples of integrity, kindness, faith in Jesus Christ, bravery, virtue, and continuing education. Because of Marie, her boys knew what to look for in a spouse.
