Virginia Postell "Gina" Gaylor

1942 - 2025

Virginia "Gina" Postell Gaylor, age 83, of Knoxville, passed away on October 8, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Alexandria, Virginia, on February 2, 1942, to Paul and Patricia Postell. Gina was born into a military family. They moved frequently, until settling in Oak Ridge, TN in 1952. Gina graduated from Karns High School, in 1960, where she met the love of her life, Roy.

Despite battling multiple health issues over the years, Gina had a zest for life. She was a fighter to the end. She loved to travel, decorate, antiquing, gardening, food, golf, bird watching, puzzles, crosswords, and loved to host dinners throughout the years for family and friends. Both she and Roy loved to watch and attend sporting events. An avid UT Vols fan, she also enjoyed supporting the athletic events of KCHS, and all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Gina was passionately committed to her faith, family and the Knoxville community in which she lived. Her spunky personality and the love of celebrating the people she loved, will be greatly missed.

She is preceded in death by her parents Paul and Patricia Postell and her sister Pat Roberts.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Roy, of 64 years, daughter Catherine Robins (Shawn), son Chris Gaylor (Laurie), and son Bobby Gaylor.

Five great-grand-children, Grayson, Callie, Caitlin, Claire and Thomas Coulter. Brother Paul Postell (Jean), sister Kathleen Stephens, sister Becky Postell (Glenn) and brother Mark Postell (Jeanie). Also, numerous nieces and nephews and their families of whom she loved dearly.
