Meet the Taylors

Adam and Maureen Taylor have covered a lot of ground in their 11-year marriage, which she calls a “non-stop adventure.”  Lovers-of-travel, the Taylors left their home in Atlanta, GA in April headed for southern Utah.  After two weeks of cross-country sightseeing with three kids and a puppy in the family van, they arrived at their Bloomington home at 3009 Jacob Hamblin Drive from where Adam will travel to McCarren Airport in Las Vegas where he works as a pilot for Southwest Airlines.   

Adam was born in Southern California but grew up in Richfield, UT.  He served a fulltime mission in the Mexico Chihuahua Mission (near Colonia Juarez) where he learned to love the “humble members who love the Lord.”  Upon his return home he studied aviation in Farmington, NM and   became a flight instructor, building up sufficient hours to be hired by Mesa Airlines.  When the economy declined he found employment with AirTran, later purchased by Southwest Airlines.  As a commercial pilot, he was given the option to chose his base.  Las Vegas was his choice because it brought he and his family closer to home and family in southern Utah.

Brother Adam has served in a variety of church callings, including nursery teacher (with Maureen), ward missionary and Elders Quorum president.  In his spare time, he loves hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and exploring the out-of-doors with his wife and children.

Maureen was born in Sacramento, CA, then lived for a time in Texas, but mostly she grew up in Aurora, CO.  Maureen and Adam met at a singles ward activity and were married soon after she graduated from high school.  Her leisure time activities also include being outdoors with her family, getting up close and personal with critters of all kinds and attending college for entertainment.  Her Church callings over the years have included Relief Society chorister, Sunbeam and nursery teacher (for 4-5 years).  These past couple of years Maureen has been learning chords on the guitar and completed training to be a Doula (a person who provides support and non-pharmacological pain relief during the birthing process) and is looking forward to getting certified.

The three Taylor children, a lovely addition to the B7 Ward Primary, are 10-year-old Alanis (her name means “shining star”), 7-year-old Maeven (her name means “expert” or “connoisseur”) both students at Bloomington Elementary School; and, a high-energy, tow-headed son, 3-year-old Marek (whose name means “warrior”).

Speaking on behalf of her dynamic young family, Sister Taylor states, “we are thrilled to be in southern Utah close to Adam’s parents and appreciate the warm welcome we have received from our neighbors and the open arms of our ward members.”
