Carolyn Sue McCorstin Taylor, age 85, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma passed away on July 3, 2019. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Ross and Beth McCorstin on February 25, 1934. She was the second child of five. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Jackie McCorstin, her sister, Joyce Ann Crawford, and big brother, Bobby McCorstin.
Carolyn was married to Norman Taylor for almost 65 years. She is survived by her two children: son, Jaye Taylor and his wife Misty of Tulsa, granddaughter Amelia of Tulsa and great-grandsons Gabriel and JJ, granddaughters Abbey and Catherine Claire; and daughter, Alesia Taylor and her husband Daniel, grandson WOC2 Chris Stringer (currently stationed in South Korea) and his wife Mandy of North Carolina, great-grandson Camden; granddaughter Melissa Swanson and her husband Jake of Oklahoma City, OK, great-granddaughter Sloane and great-grandson Rhys. She is also survived by her sister, Teresa Tate and husband Randy of Madill, OK.
After meeting Norman in the Air Force, they made their home in Iowa. Farming turned into city living when they moved their family to Oklahoma where both Norman and Carolyn were employed by Western Electric / Lucent / AT&T. She was active in the Telephone Pioneers where she loved square dancing, playing Mrs. Claus, working the casino and ringing bells for the Salvation Army. She loved cooking, sewing, traveling, keeping Norman in line and "Fred and Ethel" enjoyed their grandchildren and their greater grandchildren.
Carolyns sense of humor will be missed but it will be forever remembered in that when the doctor told her she had a collapsed lung, she said, "Thats ok, I have another one!" Remember the good times, her "right eye" and all the hyperbole and know she is better now that the buzzers are silenced.
Services will be Friday, July 5, 10:00am at Mercer-Adams Chapel with interment in Kingston, OK.
