VIRGINIA TAYLOR SCOTT
November 2, 2019
Virginia Taylor Scott, 70, passed away peacefully alongside her daughter Nov. 2, 2019, after a long battle with dementia.
Virginia Donella Taylor was born May 28, 1949, in St. Charles, Va., to World War II Veteran Tip Tasco Taylor and Edith Pauline Sexton Taylor.
Her parents and her brother, Roger Lee Taylor, have preceded her in death.
“Ginny” is survived by: Husband of 51 years, John W. Scott; son, Johnny Scott Jr.; daughter, Angela Beal and husband Arnold Beal; grandsons, Avery Beal and Aaron Beal; great-grandson, Maxwell Beal; granddaughters Kaleigh and Kira Scott; brother, Steve Taylor and Shirley; sisters, Marjorie Tomlinson, Belinda Taylor, Kim Taylor, Cindy and Danny Newman, Rita and Bill Marceron.
Aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews are abundant in her large and loving extended family.
Ginny graduated from St. Charles High School in 1967 and studied business management at Lincoln Memorial University, where she met her husband, John. They married in July, 1968, and have lived most of their lives in Anderson County.
Ginny was an angel on earth to anyone who knew her. She was a devoted wife and dedicated herself to raising her children. Ginny gave 110-percent of herself to everything she did, every friendship she cherished, every interaction she graced. She continually encouraged and enriched her children and grandchildren’s lives. Ginny was a committed and treasured volunteer at her children’s schools, even after they graduated. She then cultivated her own talents, skills and strengths into multiple successful business ventures with her dear friend and business partner, Jack Black.
Ginny was a genuinely beautiful person, inside and out. Her passing is a profound loss to everyone who loved her, and we are all devastated that she succumbed to this horrific disease. She was cared for by her daughter, Angela, and her son-in-law, Chip, in their home for nearly two years.
They are asking in Memorial of Ginny, and in lieu of flowers, for donations to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center – Memory and Alzheimer’s Research Center.
Ginny will be profoundly missed and forever in our hearts.
A Celebration of Ginny’s Life will be heldfrom 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019 at the Museum of Appalachia, 2819 Andersonville Hwy. Clinton.
