Jerry Rosella Taylor "Apple Packer", 88 of Yakima Washington passed away on Sunday March 20, 2022. She was born on January 5th 1934, to Jack and Rosella Barker.

Jerry retired in the late 1980's only to return to work at Costco part-time to keep herself busy. Jerry hunted, snowmobiled, and cut wood in the Tampico Hills for many years, where she and her late husband built many cabins. She enjoyed cooking and baking. Not only was she wonderful at it, everyone had one favorite dish she made. She loved fulfilling every and each request for her delicious food and desserts. She also enjoyed crocheting, knitting, and occasional gambling trips. Jerry married Donald Taylor on November 21, 1953 they spent 58 years together. Jerry is survived by her three children Terry (Debbie) Taylor, Donnie Taylor both of Yakima, and Debra Sanchez of Cle Elum. 6 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, 6 great-great grandchildren as well as multiple nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her Parents Jack and Rosella, her sister Joyce Kincannon, brother Jack Barker, her Husband Donald and 2 nephews. Jerry should always be remembered as a hardworking, loyal and generous woman. She loved her family and friends with all of her might! The family will have a private gathering at a later date. Anyone wanting to honor Jerry should look towards the Tampico Hills, smile and say "10-4 Apple packer, be free until we meet again, love ya"!
