Laura Taylor, 63

Laura (Clerc) Taylor, age 63, of Adams, passed away March 24, 2023 at the Berkshire Medical Center after a long illness.

Born in Glens Falls, NY, Laura was a daughter of the late Robert Charles Clerc and Gene Harvey Clerc. She was a 1977 graduate of Hoosac Valley High School and spent much of her adult life working as a bookkeeper. She first worked for Stanley Lumber for many years and later at Shakespeare & Company for at least 10 years.

Laura was a hard worker and found comfort in her time at home. She enjoyed opening her home to countless family cookouts and bonfires over the years and she will be remembered for her laugh and great sense of humor. One of the best things about Laura was that you never had to question where you stood with her.

Laura is survived by her husband of 25 years, Norman W. Taylor, Jr. whom she married on August 23, 1997.

In addition to Norm, Laura is survived by their son, Bradley Robert Beddome of Port St. Lucie, FL, 2 grandsons, Anthony Bradley Beddome and Bradley Ralph Beddome, as well as their mother Nicole. She also leaves her step-daughter, Morgan Taylor (Michaela) of Las Vegas, NV, her brother Stephen C. Conlon (Patricia) of Savoy, her sisters-in-law, Nancy Taylor of Lanesborough, Tina VanLuling (Peter) of Williamstown, Joanne Froio (Mark) of Lanesborough, and Susan "Grace" Walter (Douglas) of Windsor, her mother-in-law Julia Taylor of Lanesborough and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
