Virginia Bird Stevens

What an amazing woman. I am so thankful for the blessing of serving with President and Sister Stevens in the Little Rock, Arkansas mission. Though it has been many years, I still often find myself reflecting on the teachings and advice I received from President and Sister Stevens. Just a few weeks ago I shared some advise I received from Sister Stevens with my son, who is preparing to serve his mission in Winnipeg, Canada. I never hear a lesson on Charity or Christ-like love, that I don't ...

I wanted to post something so her kids and grandchildren would know....I served my mission in Arkansas when she was there and I couldn't have asked for a kinder more loving mission mom than her.... she is as close to heaven as you can get on earth...I will love her forever.

Dear Stevens Family, How very grateful we are for the gift and blessing of knowing your beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Angel. May you each be blessed and comforted at this tender time of loss. With much love, Larry, Terri, and Emily Jensen

Sister Stevens was an Amazing and wonderful Woman Her Husband President Stevens was my mission President in Arkansas from 193-1995. I always had such great conversations with Sister Stevens each month at Zone Conference's She really helped me get through my mission. Her Monster Cookies Were the BEST!!. I send my condolences and prayers to President Stevens and his family during this time of grief until you are reunited with her in the Eternities.

Sincerely
Dwight Cornell and family.

She was an amazing woman that touched my heart in many ways. When my grandfather passed on my mission she was a comforting voice and shoulder to cry on (literally). The world has lost a giant.

Remembering your great love story today and always.

Sending heartfelt condolences, hugs, and prayers of peace and comfort to the Stevens family during this difficult time.
Sister Stevens was one of the kindest, sweetest woman I've had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you for being such a good example of Christlike love and service.
Love, the

I was saddened to hear about Virginias passing. She was such a dear friend to my mother and our family - always interested and supportive with kindness and humor. I still remember tap dancing lessons and performances (which I loved).

I so appreciated her continued concern and friendship for my mother in her final days. She will be missed by many.
