Suddenly, peacefully, surrounded by family, the death occurred of Valerie Taylor (nee MacMillan), Rice Point, on April 30, 2012, at Moncton
Hospital. She was the beloved wife and best friend of Captain Kirk Taylor, cherished and devoted mother of Karianne (Jim Morrison) and
Sarah. Born in O’Leary on Jan. 27, 1957, she was the much loved daughter of Margaret (nee MacKenzie) and the late Albert MacMillan of West Cape. Her loving presence will also be dearly missed by her brothers and sisters: Blair, Iva Griffin, Ivan (Juliette Smith), Kevin (Priscilla), Nancy, Vance, Ian (Cathy), Leita (Leigh) Chisholm, and Chris (Betty) as well as parents-in-law Forbie and Bertha Taylor of Nine Mile Creek, brother-in-law Paul (Nancy) and sister-in-law Sheri (Troy) Bradley.

Throughout Valerie’s life, she touched many people and became involved in many activities. In 1980, she joined Regis Duffy at DCL and was instrumental in helping the company grow into a leading multi-national company in the chemical industry. In her spare time, she spent many hours volunteering and cheering her family and friends at speed-skating, hockey, and softball events. Together with her best friend Kirk, their love of physical activity led them to many hours of enjoyment actively engaged in golfing, any type of exercise class, curling, running and skiing. Her and Kirk’s love of the sea and travel led them to taking many cruises over the years throughout the world.
