Alyssa “Aly” Page Taylor (June 9, 1987 – April 30, 2026) will be remembered as a woman who lived with extraordinary purpose, faith, and love. Though her time on earth feels far too short to those who knew her, it is undeniable that Aly lived each moment fully, pouring herself into the roles she cherished most—wife, mother, daughter, friend, and servant of God.
Aly’s greatest joy and calling in life was her family. She was a devoted wife to her husband of nearly 20 years, Josh Taylor, and a loving, present, and intentional mother to her four daughters—Genevieve, Vera, Lydia, and Estelle. There was no role she embraced more wholeheartedly than motherhood. She nurtured her children with grace, strength, and deep faith, creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unwavering love. To Josh, she was not only a partner but a constant source of encouragement, strength, and companionship through every season of life.
Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, Aly grew up surrounded by love and activity, sharing her childhood with her sister Jessica. She enjoyed dancing, playing softball, and being part of teams coached by her father, William F. “Fred” Page, Jr. After the heartbreaking loss of her father in 1998, Aly moved to Monroe with her mother, Cyd, and sister, where she continued to grow into the remarkable person she would become.
Her years at Ouachita Christian School were formative, filled with friendships that would last a lifetime. It was there she met Josh, the man who would become her husband and lifelong partner. Though she initially pursued her father’s dream of attending LSU, Aly’s heart led her back to Monroe—and to Josh. The two married when she was just 19, beginning a journey of love and shared purpose that would define the rest of her life.
Aly’s academic and professional achievements were nothing short of inspiring. After earning her degree in Sociology from ULM, she discovered her passion for helping others and pursued a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Even in the face of immense personal trials, including a diagnosis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer at just 24, Aly persevered. She completed her PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy with a 4.0 GPA, writing her dissertation on the impact of cancer on families—a reflection of her own journey and desire to help others heal.
Throughout her career, Aly served as a college professor, therapist, and adoption consultant. She continued counseling others with compassion and dedication, even in the final days of her life. Her strength—both physical and emotional—was matched only by her unwavering faith.
Above all, Aly will be remembered as a faithful servant and devoted follower of Jesus. Her life was a testament to perseverance, hope, and trust in God, even through her battles with cancer and infertility. She never wavered in her belief, continuing to share His love and sing His praises until the very end.
Aly was preceded in death by her father, William F. “Fred” Page, Jr., and her grandparents. She is survived by her loving husband, children, mother, siblings, extended family, and countless friends whose lives she touched.
Her legacy is immeasurable—a life lived with faith, love, and purpose that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
