Mrs. Taylor was born August 1, 1937 in Fort Necessity, LA and Heaven received another angel when she passed from this life on May 16, 2020 in West Monroe, LA at the age of 82. Jean was a graduate of Fort Necessity High school, where she was an outstanding student and basketball player. Jean graduated from Northeast Louisiana State College with a Bachelors Degree in elementary education and earned her Masters degree while teaching in Little Rock, AR. She retired after 32 years of teaching. Her son, Greg LaCaze and grandchildren, Dalton and Remi LaCaze were the light of her life. Jean and her sister, Shirley Mondello were inseparable and were both loved and spoiled by their brothers Ray and Royce Bryan. She was a member of St Columba Episcopal Church in Winnsboro until its closing and became an active member of the Boeuf Prairie Methodist Church in Fort Necessity. Jean was a longtime member of the Pink Ladies, volunteering at Franklin Parish Hospital and an active member of the Winnsboro Garden Club. Some of her favorite pastimes were playing Pokeno with “the girls”. Jean loved her home and enjoyed decorating for all seasons. Her favorite season was Christmas, and she decorated with her Dickens Village Collection which she had a Christmas tree constructed to feature it. Her family and friends loved to visit and admire the collection. She was an avid Chicago Cubs fan, LSU Tigers fan and New Orleans Saints fan. If Jean even thought that she would miss part of a game she would record it. Jean loved her flower gardens and worked in them up until her last day at home. She was very patriotic, making the American Flag the focal point of her yard, flying it proudly.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Billy Taylor; her parents, Robert Clifford Bryan and Ludie Leona Johnston Bryan; and three brothers, Kermit Bryan, Jesse Bryan, and James C. Bryan.

Survivors include her son, Greg LaCaze and wife, Beth of Lewisville, TX; two brothers, Royce Bryan and wife, Betty of Winnsboro, and Ray Bryan and wife, Mary Pat of Fort Necessity; one sister, Shirley Mondello of Fort Necessity; two grandchildren, Dalton LaCaze and Remi LaCaze, both of Garland, TX; also survived by a host of extended family and friends.
