Ann Marie Taylor

Ann Marie Taylor, 86, of Brandenburg, Kentucky, passed away on July 20, 2026.

Ann Marie was born on January 8, 1940, in Seehausen, Germany, to the late Joseph and Ann Marie Rossberg.

Ann Marie was a faithful member of the Catholic Church.

She is survived by her children, Missy House (Rob), Melanie Keullmar (Willi), Pam Ginn (Robert), and Anita Heuser. She was also blessed with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including Sarah Vogt, Robin Bruner, Peggy Munday, Molly Hoeppner, and her great-grandchildren, Mason Charles and Blake David.

Ann is also survived by her beloved friend, Gail Hodge.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles Douglas Taylor; her son, Rolf "Sando" Haynie; her stepdaughter, Teri Taylor; and her stepson, Chuck "Butch" Taylor.

Ann Marie enjoyed shopping, gardening, and was an exceptional cook. She and her husband, Charles, owned a bed and breakfast and shared a love of horse racing, owning two racehorses, Taylor Tiger and Emerald. Together they enjoyed traveling to Florida and making lasting memories.

Known for her wonderful sense of humor, Ann loved playing pranks on those she cared about, yet she was also remembered by her children as one of the classiest women they had ever known. She never met a stranger and had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome. One of her greatest joys was tending to her beautiful flower gardens, which included flowers she lovingly brought home from Germany.

Visitation will be held at Louisville Memorial Gardens West on Thursday, July 30, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m., with entombment immediately afterward.

In honor of Ann Marie Taylor, the family requests that donations be made to the American Diabetes Association.
