“Casino Sue” Taylor — who died in last week’s bus crash in Irving — was bubbly, lively and just plain fun, friends and family said at her memorial service Tuesday evening in Hurst.

Taylor, 81, had organized the bus trip to Choctaw casino in Durant, Okla., that ended with a fatal crash. She had organized similar trips for 10 years.

Among the attendees was Eddie Fuller, 72, of Euless, who was injured in the April 11 bus wreck. Fuller said Taylor always made sure everyone had a good time, and would regularly bring scratch-off lottery tickets and Bingo cards to play on the trip to Oklahoma. Fuller said she saw Bingo cards on the ground after the wreck.

Norm and Jean Lien of Hurst said they’ve made numerous trips to Oklahoma with Taylor over the years, but decided not to go this time because they didn’t care for Choctaw Casino.

They called Taylor “a special lady.”

“I never got off the phone with her without a good laugh,” Jean Lien said.

Charlie Mead, who worked with Taylor at Heritage Auction House, said Taylor’s death leaves a big hole for those who knew her.

“You need people like her because they make life worth living,” he said.

Taylor’s family organized the memorial at St. Paul United Methodist Church, where Taylor went on Sundays, in lieu of funeral home services. They played Taylor’s favorite song — “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack — and showcased various photographs of Taylor, including one with former President Bill Clinton as he worked his way through a crowd. Taylor was an ardent Democrat, friends and family members said.

Taylor’s family plans to scatter her ashes in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the British Virgin Islands.

Family members of Paula Hahn, 69, who also died in the crash, attended the memorial. Hahn’s services are scheduled Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home in Fort Worth.
