Taylor, Lynn C. As God whispered her name and said "Come with Me" Lynn passed away peacefully in the presence of her children on Wednesday March 8, 2017 at the age of 74. Lynn was born August 30, 1942 in Kalamazoo to the late Ralph and Gertrude (Schipper) Dove. She was a 1960 Graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School and remained a life-long resident of Kalamazoo. Lynn retired at an early age from International Paper Company with over 25 years of employment. She was a longtime member of Haven Reformed Church. She "loved" and "lived" for her children, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. Brayden was so precious; he captured her heart. He could bring a smile to her face, even on her last day. Lynn enjoyed flower gardening, sunshine, and Lake Michigan; but her most favorite past-time was shopping! Lynn also enjoyed spending her free time with a circle of friends, shopping and getting lost, but always finding their way back home. Lynn is survived by her children, Ralph Taylor III and Jodi Zimmerman; grandchildren, Michael and Alex Zimmerman, Aubree (Cody) Murphy and Tara (Josia Kennedy) Zimmerman; special great grandchild, Brayden Zimmerman; 4 great-grandchildren dear to her heart, John, Levi, Khaleb and Charlotte "Charlie"; brother, Dale (Sherry) Dove; brother-in-law, Ron Miller; beloved nieces and nephews; and the father of her children, Ralph Taylor. Lynn was preceded in death by her step-father Albert Gibson; siblings, David (Charlotte) Robinson and Sandra Dove Miller. A funeral service will be held at Haven Reformed Church, 5350 N. Sprinkle Rd., Kalamazoo, on Monday March 13, 2017. Viewing will begin at 11:00am with a service to follow at noon. Immediately after the service, family and friends are invited to join in a brief luncheon. A burial will be at Riverside Cemetery, Kalamazoo at 2:30 for anyone that wishes to attend. Arrangements by Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Memorial Chapel, 622 S. Burdick St. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Lynn's name may be directed to Reverence Home Health and Hospice.
