Carla Taylor was born in Indianapolis, IN in the month of May and year of 1959. Her parents, Vincent, age 75, and Mary, age 69, were also born in the state of Indiana. She has seven living brothers and one deceased, two living sisters.
At the age of 22 years, she then married James Douglas Taylor, divorcing 30 years later. Ms. Taylor did successfully raise her children with direction of her home church, Westside Missionary Baptist Church and loving family members. Her daughters Brandi and Kellie and son James are loving and caring young adults who are also, by the grace of God, successful in their lives. Brandi has been blessed with one son, who is her only grandbaby.
Ms. Taylor has worked permanent jobs since the age of 18 years and at times attended college while working. Joyce Kilmer School #69, Broad Ripple High School, Clark Business College, from which she is one of the first CETA students, and Morning Side High School in Los Angeles, California are schools that she attended.
Her working career did start at Wishard Memorial Hospital at the age of 18 years and continued until 1995 when she retired from there and went on to continue working a variety of jobs such as banquet server, driver, inspector for Sarans Transmissions, and a selection of warehouse jobs for the next 10 years.
The year of 2005 is when the medical problems arose and she continues to struggle through daily with a smile on her face and Prayer always in her heart. The next big accomplishing goal on her agenda is to be a first time homeowner. She is willing to do whatever is suggested to her through Habitat for Humanity to complete this goal. She is very grateful for Habitat for Humanity to devote their time and efforts in helping her and her children to be able to see her through with this long time dream.
