Taylor, Jan Pelaez, age 58 of Glen Dale, WV went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, June 12, 2012, surrounded by her loving family. She was born October 19, 1953 in Philippi, WV the daughter of Joe Pelaez of Moundsville, WV and the late Mary Ann Pelaez. Jan's battle was against cancer, but her victory was in the Lord. She used her story as a testimony and her struggle as a way to spread the Word. Doctors and nurses, friends, and family were all her mission field. She saw each obstacle as an opportunity, a chance to share her faith, a moment to witness and show love toward others, or a time to give thanks to the One who blessed her last 58 years. Those who knew Jan will remember the strength of her faith and the power of her hugs. They will remember the love she had for her husband and the dedication she had to her family and church. She will be remembered for having a fun-loving spirit, a servant's heart, and a passion for life that could only come from following Christ. Jan was a deaconess at Moundsville Baptist Church, where she served as a choir member, Sunday school teacher, and Bible school volunteer. She touched many lives in the 41 years she worked for Dr. James S. Wilson as a dental hygienist. In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by an infant son, Robert Hunter. In addition to her father, survivors include her husband of 39 years, Rob Taylor; daughters, Brianne (Corey) Young, and Molly Taylor, both of Glen Dale; a granddaughter, Emma Young; a sister, Jody (Rennie) Scarnecchia of Moundsville, WV; a brother, Joel (Cynthia) Pelaez of Wheeling, WV; two nieces, Jasey Snead, and Jenny Scarnecchia; a nephew, Scott Yocum; one great-niece; and 2 great-nephews. Family will receive friends on Thursday from 1-4 and 6-9pm at Grisell Funeral Home & Crematory, 400 Jefferson Avenue, Moundsville and Friday from 12noon until time of funeral service at 1pm at Moundsville Baptist Church, 4th St. & Annadale Ave., Moundsville with Rev.
