Blaine Lee Taylor, 89, of Wonewoc, WI, passed away Thursday, July 23, 2026, at the Tomah VA Medical Center. He was born September 4, 1936 in Valley, WI, to Floyd and Blanche Taylor. He attended Salem Ridge School and graduated from Wonewoc Center High School in 1954. Blaine served in the Wisconsin Army National Guard and was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, during the Berlin Crisis.
In October 1962, he married Judy McCauley. Together they raised two sons, Danny (Jackie) and Randy (Penny).
