Nannette Higgins Walker-Taylor was born to the late Osceola L. Higgins Weaver and the late Richard E. Higgins in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on September 6, 1962.

She was educated in the public schools of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County and graduated from East Forsyth High School. She began her early Christian Education at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Winston-Salem.

Following high school graduation, Nannette married, raised her boys, and traveled for a number of years. Upon returning to Winston-Salem, she was Employed with the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools (WSFCS) as a cafeteria director at J F Kennedy. She later went to work for Northwest Child Development Centers, Inc. where she was the Child Nutrition Director. She continued in this roll even after deciding to go back to WSFCS. Not only was she a joy to have as a staff member but the children truly adored her as much as she did them. On Sundays because of her joy of working with children, she spent Sunday morning working in the Church's Sunday Child Care Room at Peace Haven Baptist Church. Nannette was a devoted member of Beauty of the West #36 (O.E.S.) and Sethos Court #105 (D.O.I.).

Nannette was preceded in death by Harold B. Weaver and Charles E Walker III.

Nannette answered the master's call to "come home" from her residence in Winston-Salem, NC on Thursday, July 13, 2023, following a period of illness. "Family I fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I kept my faith and now I'm gone to enjoy the master's joy. See you soon!"
