Virginia was a loving G-Mama, mother, sister, aunt, and friend; a people person, outspoken, loved to chat it up, caring and very generous she loved to cook, and party, and her laugh was infectious, it always sounded like she was having such a great time! She had so much class, spunk, style, sass, and character which made her the life of any party or gathering. She truly will be missed by all she came in the presence of in her 92 years.
