Tayler Michelle Jordan

September 27, 2004 — June 29, 2025

Salem

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tayler Michelle Jordan, of Salem, Arkansas, who departed this life far too soon on June 29, 2025, at the age of 20.

Born on September 27, 2004, Tayler was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. She graduated from Salem High School in 2023, where she was known not only for her academic efforts but also her spirit, kindness, and determination. She had obtained the title of CNA before ever graduating high school.

Tayler proudly held the title of Miss Fulton County, a reflection of her poise, confidence, and the love she carried for her community. She approached life with grace and optimism, always striving to uplift those around her.

Her absence leaves a profound void, but her memory will forever remain in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her parents, Misty Polston of Elizabeth, Arkansas, Steven Kelly, Jr of Bald Knob, Arkansas, and Theresa Holich of Salem, Arkansas; three brothers, Austin Polston (Hope) of Mountain View, Missouri, Chris Ortiz (Kymberlinn) of Salem, Arkansas, and Nicholas Ortiz of Salem, Arkansas; three sisters, Savanna Polston of Salem, Arkansas, Julisa Anorve of Elizabeth, Arkansas, and Alyssa Ortiz of Salem, Arkansas; grandparents, Wayne Polston (Cindy) of Searcy, Arkansas; many other relatives and friends.

Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at Barker Funeral Home in Salem, Arkansas.
