Amy Taylor Harvell Scholarship
The Amy Taylor Harvell Scholarship is given in loving memory of the daughter of Carol and Tim Taylor. Amy would be so pleased to know she will be helping others to have an opportunity to attend college as she was able to do. Amy always showed strength, courage, and a love for life. She married a wonderful man, enjoyed having fun by swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii, riding horses, or riding her motorcycle on country roads with her dad.
Amy never let her disease alter her approach to living her life. She was an inspiration to all that knew her. Spending countless days in hospitals, and the daily routine of taking different medicines and physical therapy, she never allowed that to keep her from living life to the fullest. Amy truly showed us what this means, for 28 years.
