Taylor is the widow of Army Maj. Brent Taylor, who was killed in Afghanistan by a member of the Afghan security forces in 2018. The National Guard officer was on his fourth year-long tour when he was cut down. 

Jennie is raising seven children, ages 2 through 14, complicated now by quarantine. “I’m only half-joking when I say I’m one small step away from really crazy,” she said. 

From changing diapers to schlepping the older kids around, Taylor’s life is full of events, but she still finds time to honor the dreams her husband lived for.

Brent Taylor was the mayor of North Ogden when he was called up for deployment. Many people told him that he had done enough, and that he should decline the orders. That was not in line with his beliefs, Jennie said. Each time he left for deployment or extended Guard training “it was gut-wrenching” to the family, she added, but “he wasn’t comfortable just staying home and taking it for granted.”
