Virginia Nolan Obituary

Virginia Rose Reynolds Nolan

February 13, 1926 - May 18, 2024

Stories and memories of Virginia were shared at family gatherings in Albuquerque, June 2024 and California May 2025. Her ashes were spread by family at places special to her in the California Bay Area. As she had arranged, a plaque with Virginia Rose Nolan 1926-2024 was placed at Oakmont Memorial Park at Inspiration Point in Lafayette, California looking over the

Mount Diablo Valley.

On this 100th anniversary of Virginia's birth, we, her family remember her and the light and love she brought to all who were lucky to encounter her.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
