Jerry Lee Taylor

Funeral services for Jerry Lee Taylor, 82, of Tulsa, OK, were held Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at Johnson Funeral Chapel in Sperry, OK. Reverend Jerry Woodall and Reverend Tim Taylor officiated, and burial was in Rest Haven Cemetery in Sperry, OK.

Jerry was born July 30, 1941, in Tulsa, OK, to Norval Herbert Taylor and Dorothy Faye (Long) Taylor. He went to be with the Lord on May 24, 2024, in Sand Springs, OK.

Shortly after Jerry was born, the family moved to Foyil, OK where he attended school and went on to graduate from Foyil High School. During the summers, Jerry would go with his dad and granddad to pick cotton. He later met Glenda Ingram on a blind date in July 1961. Jerry found a job as a welder/pipefitter and one day his boss asked him “Are you married?” Jerry told him “No, but I’m thinking about it.” Jerry and Glenda dated for just two months before they were married on September 29, 1961. Together, they had four children, two boys and two girls, and enjoyed their precious grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening, going hunting and fishing, and telling everyone what he knew about the Lord.

He is survived by his wife, Glenda Taylor; children, Tim Taylor and wife, Cheryl, Philip Taylor, and Rachel Taylor; 10 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren, with another on the way; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Becky (Taylor) Cooper; granddaughter, Jamie Cooper; parents, Norval and Dorothy Taylor; and brother, Ronald Taylor.

Arrangements and services were entrusted to Johnson Funeral Home, Sperry.
