Virginia Mae (Hug)
Virginia Mae (Hug) Kunisch, 86, passed away on August 24, 2012, at her daughter's home in Sylvania, Ohio. She was born near Edon, Ohio on December 28, 1925, to August and Flora Hug (Ries). She married Raymond J. Kunisch of Toledo on June 11, 1949, and raised seven children.
Virginia graduated from the St. Vincent School of Nursing in 1948 and loved working in the nursery at St. Vincent Hospital after graduation and until she started her family. She continued to work for the Nurses Registry of Toledo for 30 years, doing private duty in homes and hospitals. She served as secretary, president and on the board of directors of the Registry over those years. Many of Virginia's children followed in her footsteps into the health care field.
A devoted mother of seven, she was dedicated to her Catholic faith and was an active member of Blessed Sacrament parish for most of her life. She sang in the choir at Little Flower Catholic Church, where her brother was a priest, and later in life became a parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Sylvania. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening and traveling.
She was preceded in death by her former husband, Raymond J. Kunisch; sisters, Olivene Dietsch, Dorothy Siebenaler and Marlene Alter, and brothers, Fr. Frederick Hug, Fr. Edward Hug and Relmond Hug.
She is survived by her brother, Eldred (Art) Hug and seven children, Dr. Patricia A. Diamond (Dr. Victor Akylas) of Los Gatos, CA, Fred Kunisch of Houston, TX, Karen Holler (Ed) of Sylvania, OH, Mary Macawile (George) of Hollywood, FL, Dr. Robert Kunisch (Debi) of Round Rock, TX, James Kunisch (Carol) of Modesto, CA, and Joseph Kunisch (Elle) of Houston, TX. She also leaves seven grandchildren.

"There are three things that will endure-faith, hope, and love- and the greatest of these is love"
Thank you Mom for loving us so freely.
My eyes sting with tears of gratitude for having you in my life and the privilege of calling you Mom.
Who you are runs so deep in me that forgetting is an impossibility. You will live in my heart forever.
Love you.

People have heard me say it many times and I also told her.
If I could be most like someone in this world , it would be my Mother In Law. She truly set the highest example for all Mothers to follow. I often would think , "what would Virginia say?"
She was truly beautiful. She was kind,peaceful and loving and had such a great faith that she made me aspire to be a better person and definitely a better Christian.
Rob said when he thinks of his Mother he thinks of the Prayer of Frances and mostly this sentence.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
She was. She is.
We will miss you on this earth.
We Love you.

I never had the opportunity to meet her, but she had to be an amazing woman to have a wonderful and intelligent son like Robert. May she rest in peace.
