It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Virginia Ann Taylor (née Holt), known affectionately by many as GeeGee, Sept. 19, 2024, at the age of 87. 
Virginia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend whose warmth and kindness touched all who knew her.
Born Jan. 2, 1937, Virginia spent her life dedicated to her family and friends. She was known for her unwavering strength, compassion, and the joy she brought to others. 
Virginia worked alongside her beloved husband of 53 years, Jimmy Drew Taylor. Together, they built their business, Dallas Auto Adjusters and operated it for over 35 years. 
Virginia had a deep love for animals and shared her life with many special dogs over the years, treating them like her own children. She leaves behind her beloved dog Charli, who kept her company and brought her immense joy.
Virginia was a die hard Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers fan. She wore her CeeDee Lamb jersey every Sunday. She enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including traveling, jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and baking. She loved to host her family and friends for home cooked meals. Her chocolate sheet cake and Osgood pies were legendary. 
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents Houston and Frieda Holt and her husband. 
She is survived by her brother David Holt (Sherry), children Jim Holt (Sylvia), Teresa Eckeberger (Johnny), and Jimmy Dee Taylor (Penny), grandchildren Becky Barnes (Steven), Brady Holt (Katie), Jacob Taylor (Carole), Derek Taylor (Laura), Holly Yarbrough (Raymon), Brent Taylor (Colleen), Laulie Eckeberger (Monica), Hannah Motsenbocker (David), Jack Eckeberger, Tessa Eckeberger, Taylor Ann Hoffman, Hayden Hoffman and Kendall Banks and great-grandchildren Ellie, Kayla, Addi, Josh, Raelyn, Aubrey, Ford, Andie, Ryan, Tessa, Austin, Mel, Archie and Duffy. 
A memorial service will be held at Sharing Life Community Outreach, 3795 W Emporium Circle, Mesquite, TX 75150, at noon Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024 followed by a catered lunch. Friends and family are invited to celebrate her life and share their memories.
As a final act of kindness, Virginia donated her body to UT Southwestern Medical Center's Willed Body Program.
