Virginia Beth (Scott) Myers

Perhaps it is fitting that it was on Valentine’s Day in 2022, that Virginia Beth Scott Myers was reunited in Christ with her husband of almost 56 years, Pat, who went first to prepare a place for her, only a few short months earlier. Virginia was born in Floydada, Texas on February 24th, 1940 to Earl Dillard Scott and Mozelle Patterson Scott. She was raised in Strawn, Texas where her parents ran a florist business. Virginia married the love of her life, Patrick Andrew (“Pat”) Myers, on February 4th, 1966 in Jacksboro. They had three sons, Rob (Elizabeth Driver) and Randy (Kelly Enis) of Fort Worth and Ricky of Comfort, Texas. Virginia is survived by her boys and her 6 grandchildren, Sallie Medley (Kevin) of Lubbock; Cody Myers (Marissa) of Pagosa Springs, CO; Kirby Myers (Lauren) of Horseshoe Bay, Texas; Matthew Myers of Dallas; Ricki Jean Holden (William) of Comfort and Jake Myers of Boerne, Texas as well as great- grandchildren, Memphis, Walker and Tilden Medley of Lubbock; Grace and Jack Randall Myers of Horseshoe Bay; William (Jr.) and Jamie Mozelle Holden of Comfort. She is also survived by family members Jane Martin, Kellys Collins, Jennifer and Logan Beckett of Nashville and their children, Campbell, Avery and Catherine; Jessica and Mark Boal of Venice Beach, CA and their children Stetson and Solomon Boal. Her surviving brother is W.D. Scott (Mary) of San Antonio and her niece Lori Swain (Rob) and nephew, Bill Scott both of San Antonio. Her surviving “BFF’s” are Karen Rumage and Carol June Davis of Jacksboro. Though not a native, Virginia embraced life in Jacksboro and lived in Jacksboro most of her adult life. A graduate of business college, she helped Pat in his law office; opened the first “Sears Catalogue Showroom Store” in Jacksboro with Carol June Davis; ran the office for Troy Teague for years when he started his tank truck business in Jacksboro and later owned and operated a florist business just off the square with her mother, Mozelle and daughter in law, Amy. Over time, she had other entrepreneurial ventures in cattle, real estate and oil and gas in Jack County. But nothing she did professionally could interfere with the business of raising her children, then Grandchildren and, later, great-Grandchildren. Virginia could never say “no” to anyone who needed her. She was there for every friend in need. She cared for her mother and two aunts who left their own homes in their later years and moved to Jacksboro knowing that Virginia would always be there to care for them. Virginia lives on through her descendants who each carry a piece of her kindness and loving heart. She will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew and loved her. Hers was, indeed, a life well-lived. Interment will be at Oakwood Cemetery in Jacksboro on Friday, February 18th in a private family-only affair. Following the interment, a public celebration of life will be had at the Jacksboro United Methodist Church at 1:00 PM. The family will host a public gathering and celebration of Virginia’s long life at “JR’s Chophouse” on the Square in Jacksboro from 2:00 to 5:00 on Friday.
