Lavirda McNeill Obituary
Known as "GG" to her grandchildren, Lavirda loved people and animals of all sorts. She loved visiting with friends and family, was always cheerful and upbeat, and was actively involved in numerous animal rescues. Those traits have proudly been passed on to her children and grandchildren.
Lavirda is survived by her youngest sister Patsy Harris (Don), her daughter Sandra Coffee, son Jerry McNeill (Susie); grandchildren Kelli Jones (Mike), Brandy Wirstrom (Kris), Melissa McNeill Graff (Marty), Scott McNeill (Meshia), Ryan Rosamond, and five great grandchildren Jessica, Jordan, Lauren, Travis and Austin.
A memorial service will be held at the First Baptist Church in Winnsboro, TX at 1:00pm on Saturday, March 18th, 2023. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the animal rescue group www.operationkindness.org.

I often heard my grandmother talk about Lavirda´s mother Lavirda. My grandmother, Zylpha, was Lavirda Love´s younger sister. I have located a picture of Lavirda Mae, her parents Roy and Lavirda, with Cody and Sherman, plus 1 of her alone. I would truly like to send this photograph to her family.

To all of Lavirda's family, I have never met such a delightful person. I loved visiting with her and her 2 kitties, loved hearing her laugh, her smile, her spiffyness, she was one of a kind and she loved all her family and friends.
