Joanne Rae Taylor, 69

Joann Rae Taylor, lovingly known as Momma Jo and Toad, was the daughter of Ray J. and Lila (Jewell) Lowery. She was born on October 16, 1956, in Deshler, Nebraska. She passed away at her home in Superior, Nebraska on October 15, 2026.

Joann was baptized at the First United Methodist Church in Davenport, Nebraska. She attended Davenport Public School and graduated from Davenport High School. She continued her education at Central Nebraska Technical College.

On August 28, 1976, Joann was united in marriage to David Taylor at the Methodist Church in Davenport, Nebraska. Two children were born to this union. Together, Dave and Jo built a life and raised their family in Superior, Nebraska. Throughout the years, Jo worked at Mid-Am Dairy, Superior Vision, Superior Spirits, and Judith Butler’s Medical Office.

Jo was an active member of the Superior Fireman’s Auxiliary. She enjoyed quilting and sewing, and she especially cherished staying connected with her family. Her life took her to the communities of Alliance, Nebraska, Burr Oak, Kansas, and Superior, Nebraska, where she made memories and maintained meaningful connections with those around her.

Joann’s Christian faith was an important part of her life, beginning with her baptism and continuing through the years she shared with her family and community. She will be remembered for the love she gave her family, the friendships she treasured, and the memories she leaves behind. Her life was a blessing to those who knew and loved her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

Joann was preceded in death by her parents, Ray J. and Lila Lowery, brothers in law, Gary Meyer and Rod Hradecky.

Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband, David Taylor; her daughter, Tracy (Nicholas) Page of Lincoln, Nebraska; her son, Jesse (Tiffany) Taylor of Milford, Nebraska; her grandchildren, Kenley and Savanna Taylor; her siblings, Alan (Beverly) Lowery of Littleton, Colorado, Carolyn Meyer of Davenport, Nebraska, and Marcia Hradecky of Bridgeport, Nebraska; along with nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a host of friends.

May Joann rest in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, and may those who mourn her find comfort in God’s promises, strength in their faith, and peace in the cherished memories they hold dear.
