I read Virginia's obituary because we share the same name and because I was fascinated by her age. I was so delighted to see that she was a member of WASP! I work for a hotel in Southern California and we would hold the reunion the WASPs held each year in the early 2000's. What a beautiful and inspiring group of women!! Please accept my condolences.

I met Virginia as a caregiver at West Hills assisted Living. She had spunk & she was fiesty! She was not afraid to you how it was. I was truly blessed to have known her. She will be missed
