She was a very artistic and creative person and enjoyed sewing, knitting, crafting, cooking and baking. She was also gifted at playing the piano. Virginia married the love of her life, Tom Buckingham, on September 20, 1952 at the Chapel of the University United Methodist Church in Austin. Virginia was a very loving and attentive mother and cherished every moment spent supporting her children’s activities.
