The staff at Heishman Funeral Home send condolences to the family of Robert Mitchell Taylor (Bob). Robert Mitchell Taylor (Bob) slipped into eternity and the loving arms of his Savior on Friday, November 25, 2022, at his Woodstock home surrounded by family and friends. Bob was born February 16, 1940, in Collinswood, New Jersey. He was the son of the late Robert and Mary Taylor. He was a 1957 graduate of Hadden Heights High School in Hadden Heights, New Jersey. He served his country, in the United States Air Force, for 4 years. He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Catherine (Cathie) A. Taylor, of Woodstock, his beloved little dog, Sadie, his son Richard Taylor (Charlotte) of Washington, daughter Cheryl Taylor of Woodstock, daughter Susan Kibler (Michael) of Mount Jackson and daughter Catherine Neff of Woodstock, one brother Hal Taylor (Christine) of Berlin, New Jersey, one brother-in-law John Crawford, III (Jackie) of Florida, grandchildren Tiffany Taylor, Mark Caison, Jr., Michael Caison, all of Front Royal, Emilie Miller (Joe) of Winchester, who is currently serving her country in the Air National Guard and is stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, FL, Brant Kibler and Landon Kibler of Mount Jackson, eight great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Bob’s career as a nurse began in 1977 after graduating from nursing school and continued on for close to 40 years. In 1988, he graduated from Shenandoah College with his Bachelors degree in Science of Nursing. He worked in Pennsylvania for many years before relocating his family to Woodstock, VA, in 1985, to work as the Director of Nurses at Long Term Care. He continued his career working in many capacities as an RN, ending as a Hospice nurse. He served his community well. Even as a retired registered nurse, he continued to volunteer at the Free Clinic, in Woodstock, and as a cashier at the hospital gift shop. Bob loved caring for people and had a compassionate, loving spirit about him that allowed him to be an excellent nurse. Not only did he serve his community, but he served his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ well within the church. He was a faithful member of Valley Baptist Church, in Edinburg, where he could sometimes be found playing the organ. In years past, he served as a Sunday school teacher, deacon, trustee, and pianist. He loved the Lord completely and sought to serve Him in all that he did. Bob was a faithful husband, true friend, caring nurse and loving father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed on this earth, but we rejoice with him that his home is now in Heaven. Family visitation with Bob’s loved ones will take place Wednesday, November 30, at 6 p.m. A memorial service to honor his life will be held at 7 p.m. with Pastor Chad Estep presiding. Both events will take place at Valley Baptist Church, Edinburg, VA. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Missionary Fund at Valley Baptist Church, 408 Stoney Creek Rd, Edinburg, VA, 22824.
