Caroline was born Jan. 6, 1948, to Milo James and Gladys Maxine Ross. She married Lynn J Taylor May 1, 1964, and was blessed with three children. She was a wonderful farmer’s wife, always making time for family and friends. She was a very thoughtful and giving neighbor, taking in meals and treats; she was a wonderful cook. She worked and served in may church callings throughout her life and was always positive, inspirational, selfless, and kind to everyone.

Later, she moved to Utah, where she married Abran Gallegos, and gained three more children. She worked for the IRS for many years and then retired.
