A woman of unwavering dedication, Virginia worked tirelessly and made countless sacrifices to ensure her children never went without. Her selflessness and commitment to her family's well-being were evident in every aspect of her life. Her family was her greatest pride and joy.

Professionally, Virginia began as a waitress and later owned a cafe where she developed a love for connecting with people. In partnership with her sister, she co-owned Virg n Mary's Tavern, creating a welcoming space for the community. Her cleaning services allowed her to meet many wonderful individuals who became like family.

Virginia had a deep passion for her backyard and was often found outdoors enjoying God's creations. She enjoyed casino visits and playing word games with her children, always bringing her sharp wit and sense of humor to every interaction. A woman of strong faith, Virginia was dedicated to daily prayers, saying her rosary, and watching church masses. She was a member of St. Joseph's Church and an active member of St. Anne's Society.  Virginia found great joy in helping others through charitable contributions and acts of kindness.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, her 15 siblings, her husband Donald, her son Kenneth, and three grandchildren. She is survived by her nine children, 22 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established at a later date. The family extends a special thank you to Heartland Hospice for their compassionate care. Virginia's legacy of love, faith, and community will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
