Virginia graduated as valedictorian of her class at Wyoming High School. She was a member of the Knoxville United Methodist Church. She was also a member of the Junior Women’s Club.

The family of Virginia would also like to thank the management and staff at Hawthorne Inn, Galesburg for the great care and compassion that was shown to Virginia and her family for the last ten years.
