Tommie Lee Taylor was born on September 16, 1963, to Robert Taylor and Olean Taylor in San Diego, CA. She was the youngest of seven children.
Throughout her life, Tommie dedicated herself to serving others through her work in customer service and caregiving. Her career reflected her compassionate spirit and
unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of those she encountered.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Tommie’s heart found solace and inspiration in music, poetry, and singing—creative passions that illuminated her days and touched the hearts of many. If you knew Tommie, you knew she was an avid fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Cowboys.
All of Tommie’s personal passions were unmatched by her devotion and faith, beginning as a member of Pilgrim Progressive Baptist Church and later joining Mt. Olive Baptist Church of San Diego, CA, under the leadership of Pastor Tony Johnson. There, her spiritual nourishment and a sense of belonging enriched her journey through life.
Tommie will be remembered for the joy she shared with others through her “give it to you straight” personality and sense of humor. Those who knew her will carry forward the light she brought into their lives as they honor her memory.
Tommie was called home to be with the Lord on January 2, 2025.
She was preceded in death by her father Robert Taylor, and her siblings; Alvin Taylor,
George Taylor, James Michael Taylor, and Gwendolyn Taylor.
Left to cherish her memory and love is her mother Olean Taylor, sons; Rodney Sloan and Joseph Dynes, sister Brenda Smith, brother Rodney Campbell, grandchildren; Gabriella Rivera and Jazlyn Sloan, niece Raygena Smith-Winfrey, and a host of other family members and friends.
Although she is no longer with us, her memory and the love she shared will remain in our hearts forever. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
