Lillian Julia Taylor was born on April 6, 1925, in Baltimore Maryland, to James and Mary Brown. She was one of nine children. Julia had five sisters: Mildred Saunders (known as "Lady", Hilda Singletary, Ruth Davis, Berdella Reid, Eva Miller and three brothers, James, Lawrence and Richard, to whom she was affectionately known as "Doodie"

Julia received her primary education in Baltimore, completing the eighth grade.

She later married Thomas Carroll Taylor, who has preceded her in death, and became mother to six children: Bryant, Thomasine (deceased),Carroll, Gregory (deceased),
Leora and Lugene. Three grandchildren enjoyed her attention, Eric Taylor, Zohora Glog, and Darryl Taylor. She is survived by a host of great grandchildren,nieces and nephews.

When her children were very young, Julia came in contact with Jehovah's Witnesses. She began associating with them and symbolized her dedication to Jehovah by water baptism in 1949. After leaving her job in Baltimore's sewing industry, she began serving as a regular full-time pioneer, which ministry she continued after relocating to Florida, to be with her son, Bryant. Julia was instrumental in helping her sister-in-law and many others to come to know and serve Jehovah. She remained a faithful and zealous witness until her death.

Her humor, quick wit and her sneeze were her hallmarks! Julia will be missed.
