Mildred Virginia Wilkerson, 88, of Ash Grove, MO, passed away Sunday, November 20, 2016 at the Ash Grove Health Care Facility. Virginia was born April 24, 1928 in Lexington, NC, the daughter of the late John Moore Sr. and Pearl (Robinson) Moore.

Virginia loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing were among her favorite outdoor activities. Virginia was always up for an adventure and traveled across America as Norman worked on building the pipeline. One couldn't help but smile every time Virginia sent a wink their way. Virginia could often be heard saying, "There you go" and "My Lands!" They are simple phrases, that will forever be hers. Virginia will be fondly remembered and will be greatly missed.
Virginia is survived one brother, Charles Moore and wife Janice of Hickory, NC; a number of nieces, nephews; special friends, Clyde and Roberta Jones, Keith, Betty, and Gary Mallory, Kelly Smith, Nita Roe all of Ash Grove and several other family and friends.
