Mildred Taylor

Mildred (Brown) Taylor entered into heaven’s gates on February 6, 2024, at her home surrounded by her loving family. Mildred was born on September 15, 1956, in Talihina, Oklahoma, to Ezekiel and Caroline (Krebbs) Brown. She was sixty-seven years of age. Mildred grew up in Fillmore and graduated from Milburn High School in 1976. Mildred was a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation and Choctaw Nation descendant. Mildred married Johnny Taylor on May 18th, 1991, and remained happily married for thirty-two years. Mildred was a dedicated wife. She was Johnny’s life, and he was hers; always together in everything. Every Saturday, they made it their special time to be together, shopping, going out to eat, or simply grocery shopping together. Mildred worked many years at Indian Territory Home Health and in her later years worked for the Chickasaw Nation where she retired due to health reasons. Mildred made a commitment to Christ and was very dedicated in her faith. She loved to go to church and would hardly ever miss until she was unable to attend due to her health. She always put God first in everything that she did. Mildred was the type of person you could always count on to pray for you. Mildred’s favorite times were spent with her family, she loved Thanksgiving and Christmas and having her family together. She often times hosted cookouts and always made sure those she loved were cared for and had plenty to eat. She was a big supporter and loved all her nieces and nephews. She attended all her niece’s sport games. She often gave her nieces, Tina Nichols and Cheyanne Arkansas, tips on what to do in games. Mildred was a caretaker of her family; she spent her last days surrounded by her family. Being the nurturer that Mildred was, during her last words, she made time with each one of her loved ones sharing special departing words. Mildred did not want to leave, but knew she was being called home and wanted to make sure her family would be okay and be comforted. Mildred fought a hard battle, until God said no more or pain, come on home. Mildred is preceded in death by her parents, Ezekiel Brown and Caroline (Moses) Krebbs; sisters, Georgia Shaw and Karen Carroll; brothers, Michael Brown and Johnny Lee Brown; grandmother, Clamy (Holden) Brown.
