Larraine Huff Taylor

February 6, 1954 — October 3, 2024

Springville

Larraine Huff Taylor, age 70, of Springville, Utah, passed peacefully on October 3, 2024, surrounded by family. She was born on February 6, 1954, in Payson, Utah, to Arvil Wood Huff and Georganna Adams Huff. Larraine married M. Lee Taylor on April 16, 1994, and together they created a life filled with love and cherished memories.

Larraine was a vibrant spirit who embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. She had a deep passion for music, playing both the piano and violin. She also enjoyed dancing, sewing, and reading or listening to books. Larraine loved spending time at the cabin she and Lee built together, attending social gatherings, and forming connections with new friends. She embodied kindness in everything she did and had a knack for making those around her feel loved. She enjoyed outings with her friends, sweet treats, and made many memories while traveling with her husband. Some of her favorite trips included driving the coast in Florida to Key West, traveling to Alaska and Hawaii, and a cruise through the Panama Canal.

A proud graduate of Spanish Fork High School in 1972, she had a diverse professional career as an aerobics instructor, real estate agent, and mortgage loan officer for First Security Bank. Despite facing kidney failure and a subsequent kidney transplant in October of 2001, Larraine remained a beacon of positivity and happiness, inspiring all who knew her. She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and cherished the friendships she made within her ward.

Nothing brought Larraine more joy than family. She embodied goodness in her interactions with them and will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and wife.

She is survived by her children, Gina (Roger) Critchfield of Salem, UT, Mark Bradford of Clearfield, UT, and Adam (Amber) Bradford of Morgan Hill, CA, as well as her spouse, M. Lee Taylor of Springville, UT and his children, Derick Taylor of Divide, CO, Marcie (Gregg) Crandall of Mapleton, UT, and Denise (Marc) Bybee of Layton, UT. She adored her grandchildren, Rachel (Cole) Jensen, Julia (Spencer) Peterson, Emily Critchfield, Michael Critchfield, Karlee (Seth) Powell, Shaylin Crandall, Madisen Crandall, Brinlee (Jordan) Moyes, Bryson Dallin, Makenna Dallin, Hannah Taylor, and Avery Taylor, Kora Bradford and Zoey Bradford. She also treasured her great-grandchildren, Lucy Jensen, Wesley Peterson, Ada Powell, Evy Powell, and Mae Powell.  She is also survived by her sister Joanne (Schuyler) Shimanek of Albuquerque, NM and Brian (Jamie) Huff of Brigham City, UT. Larraine was preceded in death by her parents, Arvil and Georganna Huff.
