Kathryn Elizabeth Taylor was born in Bethesda, Maryland on September 18, 1972. She grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she attended John Baker Elementary School. In second grade, she joined the Duke City Dashers Track Team, placing 2nd in the long jump, 5th in the 400m and 6th in the 200m at the 1980 Nationals in Spokane, Washington.

Kathryn would later move to Memphis, Tennessee where she graduated from Hamilton High School with honors. After high school, she attended Christian Brothers University, majoring in Accounting. After graduating with an Associate's from Spartan School of Aeronautics, she started a job at Metalwest as a Commercial Coordinator. This kickstarted a lengthy career in the steel industry. She later received her Bachelor's in Business Administration from Columbia College. Kathryn continued to enjoy her expertise and the work she loved while at Steel Warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee.

Kathryn was a fun-spirited soul who took on many passions, most fondly, traveling and golf. She was strong-willed and meticulous. She had an enormous heart and an incredible sense of humor.

What an honor to know this wonderful young, vibrant woman. "KT" as my daughter, Kermecia James and her daughters affectionately called her, was a joy every time we spoke or visited. My deepest and sincerest condolences to her family. She faced all obstacles with tremendous strength and "KT" is truly missed.

It was very heart breaking learning of Kathryn's passing. So young, so lively, so pure, so selfless! I am grateful that our paths crossed because all our experiences together have made me a better person. May your family and friends be comforted by your memories and the experiences you blessed them with while you were here, and may God's everlasting light shine down on them.

My Condolences to the family. Kathryn and I worked together for many years at Kentube/Fintube Technologies in Tulsa Oklahoma. Kathryn and I became the best of friends. She was an amazing person, her smile and personality shined so bright. She had a beautiful soul. Although we were miles apart we would make it a point to talk to one another almost every day. She will be truly missed, but never forgotten. May her beautiful spirit and cherished memories forever live on. Prayers of comfort and peace to the family. Lavarn Antwine and Family

Prayers and condolences to the family & friends of Kathryn Taylor. We worked together at Steel Warehouse. She was only her for a short time, but I think she enjoyed it here and enjoyed her being on our team. I loved her smile and personality. She was soft spoken, and the way she carried herself you would never know that she was going through anything. We will definitely miss her.

Kathryn open up her home to my mother and me in 2014. My mom reached hoping the two of us could stay the night while on our road trip to move me to LA. Kathryn graciously said we were more than welcome to stay for the night. She had everything ready and waiting for us when we arrived. We laughed, talked and enjoyed each others company. We were so grateful and appreciative.

My prayers are with our family!

KT, what an amazing soul to have encountered. We thank God for the borrowed time we had with you and know you're keeping a close eye on us. Your God Daughters - Ki, Ree & Lia
