Betty Jo (Sergerson) Taylor

 Betty Jo (Sergerson) Taylor, 87, went peacefully to be with her Lord on March 5, 2023, in Kerrville.

She was born on March 18, 1935, in Union City, Tennessee to Woodrow and Julia Sergerson. Betty graduated from Oswego Community High School on May 29, 1952, in Oswego, Illinois.

On Sept. 04, 1953, in Oswego, she married the love of her life, Roy Taylor. They had three children, Teresa, David, and Sherri, that she dedicated her life to be a great wife, mother, and homemaker for her family. Roy was a Senior Master Sergeant in the Air Force with this taking the family to several military bases to live in the US.

When the children were younger the family loved to camp. In her free time, Betty spent time gardening, sewing, and baking. Betty even worked at Wall Drug Store & Bakery in the bakery department for a little while and enjoyed the time spent there. After Roy retired, they became snowbirds spending time between South Dakota and Texas. In 1984, they moved to San Antonio to live permanently to take advantage of the military hospital for Roy’s medical needs. After his passing in June 1986, Betty decided to stay in Texas and even talked her daughters, Teresa, and Sherri into moving there too. Betty discovered a love of traveling; taking an Alaska cruise, even did a couple of bus tours and vacations at the beach. She loved shopping trips and lunches with the girls.
