Not only was Virginia a beloved wife and wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, but a generous friend to all who knew her. Virginia was the centerpiece of her family and especially loved family gatherings. She brought a great deal of grace, thoughtfulness and love into this world.
