Michele (Minkel) Taylor, age 46, passed away peacefully from heart disease on Monday, June 18, 2018. She was born November 5, 1971, in Kettering, OH to Bill and Mary Ann (Meindl) Gray. She was a 1990 graduate of Southview High School in Sylvania, OH. She worked as a physics and robotics teacher at Oak Hills High School in Cincinnati, OH. Minkel truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and family, camping, and spending time with her nieces. Her greatest joy was the time she spent with her children to whom she was completely devoted. She is survived by parents Bill and Mary Ann; her children, Connor and Hailey; a sister, Nicki (Bill) Gabehart; and many nieces and cousins. Family, friends, and others whose lives Minkel touched are invited to a Celebration of Life Service at the Oak Hills High School, 3200 Ebenezer Road, Cincinnati, OH 45248 from 6-8 pm on Saturday, June 23, 2018, to reminisce and celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Oak Hills Robotics Club at Oak Hills High School. Condolences at hodappfuneralhome.com
