December 16, 1992 – December 9, 2020
Taylor Jaye Coltrain passed away peacefully at home in Noblesville on December 9, 2020.
She was born in Indianapolis on December 16, 1992 and attended high school in Hudson, Wis., and Noblesville. Taylor worked in the service and retail industries.
Taylor had a delightful sense of humor. Her infectious laugh filled the room and you couldn’t help joining in. She was the most thoughtful gift giver and took great pride in finding truly perfect and meaningful mementos for others. Taylor genuinely listened to others and cared about what was important to them. From a young age and continuing throughout her life, Taylor had a unique compassion and empathy for others. She took time to make certain that everyone felt like they were included, but mostly that they mattered.
She devoted a lot of her energy to helping others, especially veterans, in the overwhelming effort of suicide prevention. She gave of her time, belongings, and self completely and freely to anyone she met in need. A favorite comforting phrase of Taylor’s was, “May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face.”
She is survived by her parents, Doug and Karla Coltrain, older sister, Jessica Russo in Westfield, and younger sister, Dana Havens in Mesa, Ariz.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Taylor’s name to the National Veterans Foundation suicide prevention program, a cause dear to Taylor, at nvf.org/stop-veteran-suicides.
