Gena Lorayne Taylor, 56, of Mooresville, passed away at Community Hospital South on November 1, 2025, after a long health battle. Born in Indianapolis on June 22, 1969, she was the daughter of Gene Spencer and Elane (Hubbard) Spencer-Webber. Gena graduated from Decatur Central High School in 1987, excelling in volleyball, softball, basketball, and track. She later earned an associate’s degree in criminal justice from Ivy Tech Community College.

Over the years, Gena was employed with Check into Cash, Mooresville First National Bank, and Jackson Hewitt, but she enjoyed being a stay-at-home mother the most.

Gena enjoyed reading, bowling, cooking, and cleaning. She was an avid collector of Beauty and the Beast and Barbie dolls. Most importantly, Gena loved spending time with her grandchildren.

Gena showed remarkable strength and grace in the face of lifelong health challenges. Though she faced many trials, nothing stopped her from being a loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and niece.

Gena was preceded in death by her father, Gene Spencer; paternal grandfather, Floyd Spencer; and maternal grandparents, Bob and Helen Hubbard.

Survivors include her husband, Mike Taylor, whom she married on August 15, 1992; son, André Spencer (Nikki); daughter, Kirsten Taylor; mother, Elane Spencer-Webber (Mike); grandchildren, J.J., Andreá, and RemiJoe; brothers, Robert Spencer (Kim), Jim Spencer, Joe Spencer (Tiffany), Andy Spencer (Angie), Travis Spencer (Julie), and Charlie Spencer; sister, Tyler Spencer; aunts, Anita Green (Jeff) and Aggie Wright (Carl); uncle, Sherman Hubbard; and several nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

  6. I will miss you so much aunt gena. You raised me and taught me how to love with my all. Every time i saw you all we would do is laugh and smile and it was always a fun time hanging out with you. Thank you for being the greatest aunt any one could ask for and taking care of me and watching my grow up and giving me all the experiences and things you knew my parents couldn’t provide me at the time. And i will never forget you singing you are my sunshine to me right before bed and telling me don’t let the bed bugs bite😔❤️. I will forever cherish you in my heart and i will never forget you and all your goofiness❤️

    I love you! I am so sorry this happened to you in your life! We met young and didn’t keep in touch a whole lot.
    You are with our Savior!! That makes my heart happy but sad that you fought this all along!
    I pray for the ones you left behind! God has them..you are now perfect!!
    You literally during your suffering lifted me up in times of need!
    I love you and I will never forget your smile! See you in Heaven girl!! 😘😘♥️🙏🙏

  8. Gena was such an amazing person. She had the most sparkling personality She was my childhood best friend and I have so many wonderful memories with her she will never be forgotten. She lives in my memory forever, my children and grandchildren hear the stories of the shenanigans we got into as young children. My childhood would not have been the same without her. I am thankful that she is no longer in pain I know how difficult that was for her. She was such a strong, beautiful person. The world is a sadder place without her.
    She is forever loved and missed beyond measure I’m so sorry for your loss

  10. Dear Aunt Gena,

    I will cherish the memories that I do have of you growing up. I will be there for your family the best that I can. I know that you are up there with your dad and your niece (my sister). I hope that you will continue to look down upon us and watch us continue to grow. You may not physically be here, but we will always keep the memory of you alive with us for as long as we all can.
