Deceased: Wilburn Maurice Traylor HAZELTON - Wilburn Maurice Traylor, a good Christian man, met the Lord at the age of 71 on Tuesday, June 10, 2008. He suffered a massive heart attack while in bed.
Date: June 17, 2008
Maurice was born in Teague, Texas, to Ruby Elizabeth Ethridge and Lewis Edward Traylor on May 31, 1937. While living in California, he met and married his best frien, Gwendolyn Scroggins, on March 9, 1970. Maurice was a hard worker; he worked as a heavy machine operator all over central Texas, supporting his family the best way he knew how.
He moved to Idaho in 1973; while here, he worked as a foreman for James H. Barton until he lost his health to complications from diabetes. After losing his health, he enjoyed fishing, working on cars and raising beautiful gardens, as well as being a great husband and father.
Maurice was preceded in death by his parents; brother; and his twin sister, Rudy Elizabeth Traylor, who died at age 11. He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Gwen Traylor; three sons in the Texas area; two stepsons, Mathew L. Scroggins and Mark L. Scroggins, both of California, who honored Maurice for being such a good stepfather.
No service will be held at Maurice's request. He chose to be cremated and give to his wife.
The family suggests memorial donations to the American Diabetes Association in memory of Maurice Traylor. Diabetes was a battle he fought his whole life; help find a cure.
