Mary Virginia"Gigi"Moore, 64, of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, passed away on October 7, 2024. Born to Dr. Joe B Hall and Patsy Matt Harrison Hall on August 24, 1960, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Gigi was a beacon of generosity and hospitality, cherished by all who knew her.
Gigi graduated from Fayetteville High School and furthered her education at the University of Arkansas, where she met the love of her life, Rager, and started a family. Her career was as diverse as it was successful, spanning roles in retail, cake decorating, event management, and catering. Gigi was particularly revered for her role as an office manager, where she left a lasting impact on small businesses and medical offices across Arkansas, California, Kansas, Idaho, most notably at West Washington County Clinic in Lincoln, Arkansas.
Her artistic talents were manifold, including music, cake decorating, needlework, and sketching, but she was particularly famous for her baking, especially for her "Gigi bread." An animal lover, Gigi had a vast knowledge of all types of animals and even trained chickens during her youth, though it seems few remain who can bear witness to this unique skill. Her true love, however, was horses, especially the horse of her youth, Honey.
Gigi was a member of several churches during her lifetime, most recently attending Prairie Grove United Methodist Church. Her faith in Jesus was central to how she lived her life; her church community was a place of joy, fellowship, and another arena in which to exercise her gifts of hospitality and service.
She leaves behind her daughters, Caroline Russell, Charlotte Moore, and Courtney Rominger; eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter; a sister, Lissa Halbert; brothers, Fletcher, Ben, Joe, and Patrick Hall; one favorite son-in-law; a large extended family including loving sisters-in-law, three aunts, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins; as well as a plethora of chosen family (you know who you are). Gigi was preceded in death by her husband Rager, her parents Joe B. and Patsy Matt, cousin Mandy, and sister-in-law Teresa.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to the following non-profits:
The Call: thecallinarkansas.org
Supporting fostering and adoption.
Community Care Connections of NWA: communitycareconnectionsnwa.org
Supporting mental health resources in Northwest Arkansas.
Both causes were close to Gigi's heart.
Gigi's legacy of love, artistry, and unyielding generosity will forever be remembered by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
