Viola Estelle Taylor

February 25, 1940 — March 29, 2025

Huntsville

Viola Estelle Taylor, a resident of Huntsville, Alabama, died peacefully at Hospice Family Care on March 29, 2025. She was 85 years old and lived a full life. Viola is preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Myrtle Wessler of New York. She is also preceded in death by grandson Benjamin Austin Currier of Georgia. Viola was born on February 25, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York. She grew up in Brooklyn with a 2-year stint in Panama while her father worked on the Panama Canal. She was married and began her family in Brooklyn but later moved to the Hamptons where she lived for many years. She later remarried an Army sergeant which caused many moves to include Clarksville, Tennessee; Büdingen, Germany and Springfield, Georgia. While working as a Banquet Captain for Hyatt Regency, she went back to school and became a Computer Aided Design Draftsman. She worked for a shipbuilder in Savannah, Georgia assisting engineers designing ships and up until her retirement, for an Architectural firm in Nashville, Tennessee. While there she lived in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. One of the most interesting projects she worked on was the original stadium for the Tennessee Titans where she was instrumental in the design of several areas in the stadium. Her greatest achievement though is her family. She would rather have been with family members than any other thing on this earth. She is survived by her 6 children and their spouses: Elizabeth Marlane (Stuart) Gibson, Theodore Emil Neumayr, Rosemarie Lousie (Randy) Currier, Katherine Anne (Aaron) Payne, Thomas Randall (Cori) Taylor, Clinton Wayne (Paige) Taylor. 14 grandchildren and spouses: Liz’s children – Ashley (Emily) and Wesley Schultz, Tyler Gibson, Ted’s children - Allen (Jamie) Merrill, Timmy (Heather) and Caitlyn Neumayr, Romie’s child - Samuel and Nathan Currier, Katherine’s children - Logan (Andrea) and Krystal (Jonathan) Lariscy, Darien and Sidney Payne, Randy’s children - Savannah and Brooklyn Taylor.
