A devoted wife, mother, foster mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Virginia loved having her family around and cherished each one of them in a very special way.

A true servant's heart, Virginia gave her love so freely to the countless children that she was a foster parent to for more than 30 years. She loved to cook, sew and garden. The matriarch of the family, Virginia was the glue that bonded them all together and she will be greatly missed.
