Born in Fresno, CA, on September 13, 1923, she enjoyed a happy childhood with her parents Aram and Margaret, and siblings Polly and Jay. She graduated from Roosevelt High School in Fresno, followed by Fresno State College and then UCSF College of Nursing, where she graduated in 1946 with a nursing degree.

They settled in San Mateo County, CA, where they raised their two children, John (Rebecca) Tueller, of San Diego, CA, and Barbara (Roger, deceased) Steuble, of Jackson, CA. After the death of her husband in 1994, Virginia moved to Placer County. She was the proud grandmother of Emily Tueller Murray, Daniel Tueller, and Bradley Steuble.
