Taylor was a talented snowboarder and an avid athlete whose charisma and smile could brighten any space. She was born on May 11, 1995, in Mayfield Heights. 

After graduating from Painesville's Riverside High School in 2013, Taylor enrolled at Ohio University and got a business administration bachelor's degree there in 2017. Taylor had a natural aptitude for technology, which she used in her professional career.

The energetic athlete made it her mission to tour the world, and she enjoyed road trips throughout the nation in her free time. She cherished taking walks around the national, state, and local parks. She developed a passion for animals and pursued it by participating in 4-H Reins and Ribbons, the Ohio University Equestrian Team, and working as a dog walker and pet sitter in her neighborhood.

Taylor was the devoted daughter of Todd and Tina (née Longstreet) Strauss, the cherished sister of Alayna and Gavin, the granddaughter of Ronald and Doris (nee Kitt) Longstreet, and the great-niece of Ronald (Patty) Strauss and Beth (Ron) Martucci. She was also a kind cousin and friend to many.
