Virginia had many joys in life, including hiking the mountains of the west, white water rafting, birdwatching, enjoying the beauty of her garden flowers, playing cards and puzzles, and sharing conversations with friends and family. She was a loving mother, proud grandmother, and adoring great-grandmother. She will be dearly missed by all she leaves behind.
