OBITUARY VANORA ELAINE REID JULY 15, 1944 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 It is with great sadness to announce the passing of mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend – and one of the most heartfelt souls – Vanora Elaine Reid; affectionately called Navi. Vanora passed away on September 30th, 2023, in Lawrenceville, Georgia at the age of 79, but her memory continues to live on through all who love her. Born in St. Catherine, Jamaica on July 15, 1944, Vanora grew up in a household of three siblings born to her late mother Lucille Nelson and her late father Claudius Reid. After attending Pear Tree Grove All Age school, Vanora relocated to Kingston, Jamaica and married Asley Taylor. They subsequently migrated to Racine, Wisconsin in 1972, divorcing in 1989. Vanora dedicated 38 years to Ardah Group formerly Foster-Forbes Glass Co., retiring in 2010. Post retirement, Vanora was committed to her immediate and extended families. Vanora was direct but contrary to her directness, there was a very peaceful side to her which was evident in her care for her home garden. She went to great lengths to maintain her well-manicured lawn and a flourishing backyard with magnificent fruit trees, all of which were the talk of the neighborhood. Vanora is survived by her sister Faye Clark (UK); children Everton Taylor (GA), Jacqueline Parker (WI), and Anthony Tapping (JA); grandchildren Tracey McDonald, Stacey Battles, Raissa Ameh, Terrill Taylor, Yasmin Rucker, Alicia Tapping and Anyah Hill-Taylor; thirteen great grandchildren, along with nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and other relatives.
