She worked at A&P from 1946-1948 in Tecumseh, this is where she met her future husband, Ervin. After her marriage she spent her time going forward as a mother and homemaker. She was an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Monroe, MI. There she enjoyed spending time with the Episcopal Church Women (ECW), choir, Sunday School Teacher, Tuesday morning quilters, and socializing during coffee hour and other community events. She also enjoyed serving as Den Mother for her sons as they went through the Boy Scouts.

Virginia had many passions in life. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, reading, camping, parades, and family gatherings.

The family would like to thank her caregivers at ProMedica Monroe and Toledo, and at Medilodge in Monroe. We would especially like to thank her three “partners in crime” at Medilodge: MaryAnn, MaryAnn, and Debra.  They were great friends to her during her short stay and we were very comforted in knowing that Mom had such good people to be with.
