Taylor's obituary

Celebration of Life will be held May 1, 2022 from noon to 2pm at Oliver Winery in Bloomington IN in the Old Tasting Room.  Friends and family are welcome to come and go throughout the time we will be there.

Taylor Allen Vanderploeg, 24, passed away unexpectedly on March 2, 2022. Having a short and complex life filled with travel to 23 states, including trips to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Devils Tower, Washington DC, Mammoth Cave, Park City Olympic Park, and more. Hobbies included cooking, reading, architectural drawing and writing. Taylor had a smile that would brighten anyone's day, was intelligent, loving, kind and full of talents. Unfortunately, the struggle to overcome the challenges of mental health and early abuses proved to be insurmountable.
