Lorabel and Clifford enjoyed many good years on the farm which has been in the Taylor family for over 100 years. The farm is located west of Diagonal. They were married for 54 years before Clifford passed away in 1988.
Her faith was very important to her. She was proud to be one of the first female deacons in the Presbyterian Church and later became a member of the United Church of Diagonal where she was active in the quilting club, choir, and playing the organ. In her younger years, she played the piano for the silent movie theater in Diagonal. She had many talents, which she gladly shared with family and friends. Her favorites included quilting, sewing, baking, gardening, and playing the organ. She especially enjoyed keeping in contact with old friends through round robin letters.
Lorabel's family was her biggest source of pride and joy. She treasured any time spent with them. Whether close by or separated by miles she enjoyed hearing of the many activities of her children and grandchildren.
She found great joy watching the flower gardens bloom and watching the variety of birds that came around the house. One of her frequent quotes was "Isn't Nature wonderful!"
We are grateful for her perfect love, strength of character, enduring spirit, and endless inspiration. We were blessed because she loved us.
Preceded in death by her parents, Guy and Julia Cornelison, husband, Clifford, daughter, Deanna Warin, grandson, James Warin, brother, Dan Cornelison and sister-in-law, Mary Alice Cornelison.
Survived by: her son, Jack Taylor of Diagonal (Dixie), their children: Darla Sobotka (Gary), Karen Berry (Shon), Jim Taylor (Lisa), Patty Eaton (Chris). Her daughter, Janelle Dalbey (Larry) of Tucson, AZ, their children: Mitch (Masayo) of Torrance, CA, Jon (Janine) of Phoenix, AZ, Jeff of Tucson, AZ. Her son, Gary Taylor (Jean) of Springfield, IL, their children: Steve Taylor (Corie) of Columbia, MO, Shannon Olson (JK) of Cedar Rapids, IA. Her daughter, Sharla McCarron (Owen) of Cedar Rapids, IA, their children: Sean of West Hollywood, CA, Kyle of Seattle, WA, Owen Taylor of Cedar Rapids, IA. Her son-in-law, Mike Warin (Grace) of Mt. Ayr and Mike Warin (Michelle) of Pella, IA, and Joe Warin (Donna) of Clearfield, IA.
