So sorry to learn of this today! Growing up she was my favorite aunt. In grade and middle school I enjoyed many weeks of overnighting at the farm on Hadley Rd. There I learned to drive, fire a .22 rifle for the first time, ride horses, deworm sheep, steer a tractor, bale and store hay and go to summer movies with my aunt. I made juvenile efforts to help her to welcome her 4 children with them during their earliest months. I regret not keeping in touch with her and her kids as I went to college and life after. I wish I could chat with her children, grand children and great-grandchildren. My true stories of adventures with my Aunt Virginia are multiple, fun to share, and always joyous events for me. I am her sister Anna Jo's oldest son and only learned of Virginia's passing today. [email protected]. Rest in peace and joy Virginia as you always were with me.

I learned of Aunt Virginia's passing this week while visiting mom in Michigan. I have fond memories of spending weekends at the farm in Chelsea, Trick or Treating in the city and antique hunting. I still have the saddle rocker she found and sit in it often. Many blessings to everyone, Anne Marie

Ah, Grandma Stevens! I'm sorry to hear of your passing! Such a generous and caring heart! Grandma Stevens worked, almost daily, as a volunteer for about 10 years at View Ridge Elementary, where I teach, helping young children learn to read--often having a little treat, trick or joke to share with them.
Along the way, I became friends with Virginia. She was fostering a poodle, Bouncer (and, boy was he one), which my nephews adopted and he was a beloved family member. In addition, when she moved homes, I purchased her antique bedroom suite--which I still love! Good-bye, Grandma Stevens--you touched a lot of lives!
