Elizabeth Jane Taylor

Elizabeth Jane Taylor (Frazier), 63, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 23, 2025, in the home of a loved one in Johnson City, Tennessee. Born on March 30, 1962, at Grundy Hospital in Grundy, Virginia, Elizabeth, lovingly known as Janie, was raised in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Haysi, Virginia. Her deep love for the mountains stayed with her throughout her life, even as she spent time living in Lenoir, North Carolina, before returning home to Southwest Virginia. Janie was a devoted nurse, having earned her LPN license and beginning her career in Clintwood, Virginia. She practiced nursing in both Virginia and North Carolina. She took tremendous pride in caring for others, and nursing was more than a job—it was her calling. Her compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication touched countless lives throughout her career. She was also a woman of deep faith, a devoted Christian who loved the Lord with all her heart. Her faith guided how she lived, how she loved, and how she showed up for others. She was also a proud and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her family was the center of her world, and she dedicated her life to raising her children to be strong, kind, and capable. Her love was steady, her presence a comfort, and her pride in her family knew no bounds. Janie’s laugh was infectious, and her personality could light up a room. She had a joyful spirit and a sense of humor that made everyone feel welcome. She loved movies, lighthouses, and the beach, but her greatest joy came from time spent with her children and grandchildren. Janie is survived by her loving husband, Dennis Taylor; her son, Justin Taylor; her daughter, Courtney McReynolds and husband Chris McReynolds; her beloved grandchildren, Chloe and Cori Jo McReynolds; her brother Johnny Wayne Frazier and wife Jane; and a host of dear cousins, aunts, and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her brother, Andy Lee Frazier; her father, Orville Jack Frazier; and her mother, Joan Louetta Frazier. A visitation for family and friends will be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:00 PM with clergymen Jerry Vitatoe and Glen Sykes officiating. Interment will take place immediately after the service at the Musick Amos Cemetery Janie will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, and the deep love she gave so freely to those around her. Her legacy of care and devotion will live on in all who knew and loved her. Pallbearers will be family and friends Mullins Funeral Home and Staff will be serving the Taylor Family.
