She was born in Powellville, MD on August 26, 1923 and was the daughter of the late George and Ida Smack Adkins. Mrs. Taylor graduated from Wicomico High School, Salisbury, in the class of 1941.

She is survived by her brother-in-law and his wife, John and Diane Prahl, and her husband’s adopted son, Eric. For many years, she was cared for by her “adopted” family, Beverly and Allan Gorsuch. Their children and grandchildren knew her as Mom T and loved her very much. Miss Ida was well known as a very special person who entertained so many people with her many stories of days gone by.
