Christen Elisabeth Reynolds

Christen Elisabeth Reynolds, known to her loved ones as Christen Taylor, passed away on January 18, 2026 at the age of 52.

Christen was a creative spirit and a naturally gifted artist who expressed herself through many forms of art. Creating was an important part of her life and reflected her unique way of seeing the world. Whether painting, drawing, sewing, practicing calligraphy, or picking out a tune on the piano after hearing it only once, her talent was evident.

She felt a connection to all animals, especially horses, and was drawn to them throughout her life. Pets of all kinds were a constant throughout her life.

She is survived by her daughter, Elisabeth Grace Reynolds, who is her greatest legacy and continues forward surrounded by love and support. Christen is also survived by parents, Bill and Anne Taylor, and her sisters, Andrea Taylor Bailey and Lauren Taylor Ruitberg.
