My sincerest condolences to the family of Siobhan. We went to high school together and she played on the tennis team. She was an excellent tennis player and I am sas to hear of my classmate's passing after so many years. Rest in love.
I taught foreign languages to Siobhan at Jacksonville Jr. High North in Jacksonville, AR between 1975-1977. She was a good student and was self-directed. I never knew what happened to her after I moved in 1977 from that area to Fayetteville,AR. But I always remembered Siobhan.
I am happy she became a teacher like me, and I am sure she was successful. I am sorry to hear about her death but I am glad she was in my class.
My favorite elementary school teacher (5th grade at Ashford Elementary). She brought joy to all of our lives back in 1988-1989. Great lady with a great heart and soul. May you rest in peace.
Ms. Traylor was my favorite teacher at Eliza Miller. May her soul continue to rest in peace & love. C/O 2004
What a great person!!! The heavens are rejoicing with such a sweet soul. I hope that you will find comfort in Gods love.
Siobhan, Such a beautiful name, I met her this year at Miller. Knowing her was a pleasure.She held fast to her dreams, for if dreams die life is a broken - winged bird that cannot fly. Siobhan you were the bird that could fly. Mr. James Bolden, Miller Jr. High School - Co - Worker
Although you may be gone you will never be forgotten. It is sadly quiet here at EMJHS without you. You brightened my day and I will not forget the conversation we had earlier that morning. You are truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Traylor family.
Krystyn, I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt. My prayers are with you during this time.
Kevin I am so sorry for the passing of your sister. You and your family will be in my prayers.
To the Traylor family, may the Lord bless and keep you in His grace in your time of bereavement.
I still remember our conversation on Monday before last. I shall miss your frankness during faculty meetings. I never told you, but that was a trait that I admired about you. You were a very wise person. Faculty meetings won't be the same without you. We have all suffered a great lost. God knows what's best for us, even though we don't understand. He just wanted another beautiful flower for His flower garden.
Siobhan was such a joy to know. I teach Special Education at Eliza Miller and she always took time out for my class. As a new teacher on campus, she took me and watched out for me, although i was 2 years older than she was. I will always treasure the memories of her.
We went to school (Central High) with Siobhan and have some good memories. We pray for God's comfort during this time of loss. God Bless!!
I graduated from High School with Siobhan and had several classes with her. I have many good memories of her, and remember her being a great student as well as a fantastic tennis and volleyball player. I am so sorry for your loss, and may God's Blessings give you peace and comfort in this difficult time.
Siobhan was a very special person. I will always remember her as a winner on and off the volleyball court. She loved competition. That state championship in volleyball with those special girls was a great experience. Siobhan was the leader. My prayers are with you and your family.
Ms.Traylor was my favorite teacher, honestly. I loved her from the bottomof my heart. I knew that she loved me too because she always did things to show how much she cared. She would tell me that she loved me every now and then. I was supposed to speak Friday, during the Memorial Service at school, but I didn't feel as if I was ready to go before people and discuss the issue. I feel as if I might have let her down, but I know that she wouldn't have wanted me to go up there falling all over the floor crying. I did write the paper, though, and my friend read it for me. Although Ms.Traylor is gone, she'll never be forgotten, and she will live forever in my heart.
Ms. Traylor, i wish this hadn't happened. I had so much to tell you about my trip. I love you an miss you Ms. Traylor and i hope that you are better off in Heaven than on this horrible earth and we will all miss you at Eliza Miller JR. High! With Much Love, Your 8th period science student Kendra Brooks LOVE YOU MS. TRAYLOR! DEEPLY MISSED!
Kevin and Mr. & Mrs. Traylor, I am so sorry for your loss. Siobhan was a very special lady. She made my first year as a teacher at Central so much more enjoyable. I will always cherish the times spent with her when she was a senior. My condolences are with you and your family.
I was blessed to have Ms. Traylor teach my children. My son was lucky enough to have her in the 6th and 8th grade. Both of my children loved her dearly. My son was saddened by the news and because he wouldn't be able to show his respects. Over the years, every time I would see her she always went out of her way to stop and catch up. She was always an angel and one of the most dedicated teachers. She will be greatly missed. Memories of her will be cherished and the family will be in our prayers. Sincerely, Tony and Karen Grantham Parents of: Nathan and Ashley Grantham

Kevin and Mr. & Mrs. Traylor, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Siobhan was a very loving and friendly woman, you have a lot to be proud of.
