Anchor Taylor Terrell’s caring for others will be legacy, says family
The night before she died, Macon television anchor Taylor Terrell “was on fire,” said her father, Louis Terrell.
She also loved the outdoors. “She would get excited about everything. She would get excited about the movies.”
The youngest of four children, Taylor Terrell, 24, died late last week after in an accident.
Terrell was wading in the stream above but some distance away from the edge of Rainbow Falls in North Carolina when she lost her footing and was swept over the falls by the current, according to news reports and officials.
“Her friends and the people she met were always more important than her,” said Louis Terrell. “She was a loving person.”
