Our beloved daughter, sister, mother and grandmother was born on February 2, 1953 in Cordele, Georgia to the parentage of the late Ceaser Byrom, Sr. and Dewell Easter Mae Sheffield Byrom.  She departed this life on February 27, 2026 at her residence in  Atlanta, Georgia.

She received her education from the Crisp County Public School System.  She was a proud graduate of the first mandated,          integrated class of 1971 at Crisp County High School.

Early in her career, she started working as a seamstress in Cordele and later in Columbus, Georgia, and went on to then she retire  after moving to Atlanta, Georgia.  She learned how to make her own clothes and would proudly outfit her sons in seasonal costumes, as well.  A natural provider, she often shared with her family and friends by cooking and giving out essentials: school supplies, clothes and shoes to anyone who needed them. Literally, she never showed up empty handed for any family  function or occasion. She enjoyed life to the fullest, loved to dance and entertain.  Her very special and funny laugh will forever be remembered by all. Above all, she loved God and her family.

Virginia is preceded in death by her parents; the love of her life, Wayne Allen and her great grandson, Ty’Qwan June.
