Body
Mary Lanelle Waddill Taylor, of Clifton, passed away on October 4, 2022. She was born on November 6, 1934, in Louisville, KY, to Hubert Peyton Waddill and Mary Ethel Barnett Waddill. Lanelle’s father was a Presbyterian minister and the family lived in Wortham, Garland, Jacksonville and San Antonio during her childhood. She had three brothers she adored and admired, Edward, Douglas and Steven. Many of Lanelle’s earliest and happiest memories were the many holidays, summer vacations and other family occasions she spent on the farm near Valley Mills homesteaded in 1857 by Dr. A.M. Barnett and belonging to her grandparents Prentice Hall Barnett and Nellie Lane Barnett. Lanelle especially loved camping with her family beginning around 1938 under the oak trees at “Waddle Inn” on Hog Creek which adjoined the Barnett farm.
