Karen Ann Taylor of Marion, MA, passed away peacefully on the morning of July 12 at Tobey Hospital. She is survived by her husband, Captain Michael Taylor of Marion, and her son, Jonathan "JT" Taylor of Washington, D.C.

Originally from New Britain, CT, Karen was an avid reader, collector of cookbooks, and a devoted crossword puzzle aficionado. She thoroughly enjoyed her time traveling the globe with Michael, at sea and on land.

Thanks to Tobey Hospital and Sippican Healthcare Center for their care and comfort, and to our dear family friend Nicole Dasilva for her unwavering support and love.

Donations in her memory may be made to your local library - a fitting tribute to her passion for reading.
