Margaret Ruth Andrews Taylor

Margaret was born in Pateros Washington to Eudora (Adams) Miller and Joseph C. Miller. 

She was the youngest of six Miller children: Lucile Earle, Amy Snedaker, Earl Miller, Leslie Miller, and Stanley Miller; all of whom proceeded her in death.

Margaret graduated from Pateros High School in 1945 and thereafter moved to Spokane, WA to attend Kinman Business School.  She lived in Iowa for ten years, and Wenatchee, WA for three years.  After her last son was born, she attended the Western College of Commerce in Wenatchee, WA and retired as an Administrative Assistant for the Department of Social and Health Services in Olympia, WA after 19 years.  She was a member of the Church of Christ since age 11.        

She married Thomas Walter Earle of Iowa in 1947.  Together they had six children: James D. Earle, Earnie Joseph Earle, Tracy L. Earle, Ralph (Ed) Earle, Peggy L. Orsborn (Bill), and Douglas M. Earle (Cheryl).  Her son Ralph (Ed) and husband, Thomas preceded her in death.    

In 1985, Margaret married James Andrews of Lacey, WA and acquired two stepchildren: Sheryl and David.   Her husband, James preceded her in death.

In 1995, Margaret married James Taylor of Spokane, WA and acquired stepson Michael Taylor (Cherie).  Her husband, James preceded her in death.

Margaret is survived by many grandchildren.

There are three important, notable qualities Margaret (Mig) should be remembered for.  First and foremost is her faith and devotion to Christianity and the Church of Christ through some very difficult times.  Second, she loved all her family members unconditionally.  Third, was the courage and resilience she displayed while navigating those very difficult times.  She was supported throughout those times by her siblings.
