WILLIAMSBURG — Virginia M. Taylor, 83, answered the Masters’ call Saturday, March 20, 2021, at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center. Her life began Aug. 22, 1937, the youngest born to the late Moses and Mayedia Moore in Williamsburg.
At an early age, Virginia was baptized and joined Zion Baptist Church in Lightfoot. She was educated in the Williamsburg-James City County school system, and later returned to receive her GED. Virginia retired from Eastern State Hospital after 26 years of service with the housekeeping department.
Virginia was married to the late George W. Taylor Sr.; from this union, they were blessed with nine children. She was always very concerned about her children, who she loved dearly.
Anyone who knew her loved her, and she was a second mom to many. Virginia saw the good in everything and everyone, never complaining about anything. She was kind, compassionate, considerate and remained a strong woman to the very end. Our hearts were broken the moment you closed your eyes. We love you, and you will be greatly missed by your children and other loved ones.
She was preceded in death by her sons, George Jr., Terrance, Kenneth, Clarence, Michael and Eric Taylor; and granddaughters, Aronda Cary and Shawna Cary-Hall.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories, her daughters, Odessa Cary of Toano, Yvonne Kee (James) of Williamsburg; son, Richard Taylor of Williamsburg; 18 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren; brother, Fred D. Moore Sr. (Ann) of Williamsburg; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
