Musician and retired middle school counselor Virginia (Ginia) Grace Strickland passed away on Monday, May 3, 2021 at the age of 80, in her home in Buena Vista, Oregon after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest, as she did.
Ginia is survived by her husband of 55 years, Mark Strickland; her two daughters Angela Glatz and Jessica King; her 5 grandchildren: Ilia King (14), Niana King (12), Alesia Glatz (12), Esme Glatz (10), and Reiner Glatz (6); and her two sisters Patricia Kuehlwein and Marcia Wilson.
