Pauletta Annette Taylor died in Kingman on Aug. 3, 2018, reunited with her parents. She was born in Holbrook on March 30, 1949, to Hobert and Marguerite (McCleve) Jordan. She was the youngest of their three kids; the only girl. Her family is multi-generational native Arizonans, or proud Texans, that adopted Arizona. She will be interred at Holbrook cemetery at a simple gathering of family and friends, at 12 noon on Monday, Aug. 13. Pauletta loved doing many things, including cooking, gardening, fishing, camping, golfing, listening to music, watching Westerns (Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark and Susan Hayward), enjoying summer rain storms and autumn weather, playing cards, newspaper jumbles, board games, watching the news, and mainly just spending time with her family. She was intelligent, generous, had a sharp wit and a good sense of humor. She was a caring, loving mother, devoted wife, good friend, the life of the party and the center of her family, the one that brought everyone else together. She is survived by her husband, Karl (married over 50 years); her sons, Karl Jr. (Jeanne) and Scott (Kerry); brothers, Ric (Kathy) and Dale (Leany); four grandkids, Mollie, Rylie, Tabytha and Jordan; nephew, Alan (Larissa) Burgess/Jordan; niece, Kari (Stephen) Barnett; cousins, uncles and aunts, and extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents, James “Cy” Cyrus and Pauline (Greer) McCleve and others. Gone too soon. She will be dearly missed by all that knew her.
