Virginia Anne Elizabeth Denisiuk Taylor was born March 23, 1940 at home in Blairsville, Pennsylvania to Joseph and Thelma Marie Piper Denisiuk.  Around 1946, her parents moved their family to the Gary, Indiana area.  As a youngster, and through her early teen years, she played the accordian with her father on local radio stations.   In 1957, she met the love of her life, James Waldon Taylor, and they wed April 3, 1958 in the Church of Christ in Hobart, Indiana.  She also graduated in 1958 from Calumet High School, and had her future father-in-law as a history teacher.  Shortly after they wed, they moved to the home of her husband's grandfather who passed away the year before.  They remained there a brief time before returing to the Crown Point area until 1967, when they returned to the Hillsdale area.  Around 1969 they moved to St. Bernice, and moved again in 1971 to Terre Haute.  They remained there until their youngest child graduated from school when they moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 1985.  They were the parents of four children.  For most of her married life she remained a stay-at-home mom, but did take part-time jobs selling jewelry and Tupperware, and sometimes as a waitress.  She loved people, and never met a stranger.  It was not uncommon for her to just start talking to different people in grocery stores, and starting up lasting friendships.  She died October 7, 1989 at Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina from a blood clot.  She is buried in Killian Baptist Church Cemetery.
