She was the devoted mother of three children, Wendell Spell (Pamela), Jody Stearns (William Michael), and Gary Spell (Jennifer Lynn). She also had an “adopted” daughter, Charity Carpenter (Tom). Virginia is also survived by her younger sister, Linda Cothern.

Virginia worked her way from a clerk typist at the Naval Aviation Rework Facility (NARF) to the Head of the Safety Department, having graduated from Columbia Southern University with her PhD in Occupational Safety & Health Engineering. She received the Meritorious Civilian Service Award in 1996. After the command was closed by in 1996, she concluded a stellar career at the Sewells Point Safety office, retiring in 2002.
Virginia was a Born-again Christian and she truly loved the Lord and her church, London Bridge Baptist Church. She loved sharing the Gospel with anyone she met. She had a vivid and colorful personality, was a relentless optimist, and had an infectious laugh. Her own background made her the champion of underdogs everywhere. She was loved deeply and will be missed terribly by all who knew her.
