Virginia Lindquist Tower

Tower, Virginia Lindquist 65 12/09/1944 08/01/2010 Virginia L. "Ginny" Tower passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Aug. 1, 2010, at OHSU Hospital. Ginny was born in San Francisco to Rudy and Marian Lindquist, and lived in the Bay Area until March of 2000 when she and husband, Randy, moved to Bend after retirement. Friends, and she had many, will forever remember her as a caring, giving, and generous person whose cheerful nature lit up any room she entered. To her family, she will eternally be remembered as a devoted mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin. Saying she will be missed is an understatement of gross proportions. Ginny was preceded in death by her parents, Rudolph E. Lindquist and Marian I. Lindquist; and stepson, Travis D. Tower. Surviving and missing her are her husband, Randy Tower; daughter, Jody, and husband, Rick Mottern, of Burbank, Calif.; son, Jason Tower of Bend; daughter, Kari, and husband, Dan Mosley, of Portland; sister, Judy, and husband, Jim Prince, of Novato, Calif.; sister, Cindy, and husband, Bernie Benson, of San Rafael, Calif.; aunt, Jeanne Warden of San Francisco; beloved grandchildren, Ruby Mottern, Jacob Collier, Lucas Mosley, and Ellie Mosley; eight nieces and nephews; and a large extended family. Ginny was the ultimate volunteer and generous contributor to charitable causes. She was an active member of the National Assistance League both in Bend and Pleasanton, Calif., and active in the Broken Top Club and community. She graduated from San Jose State University and was a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority. She enjoyed many things including travel and cooking, but none more than being with family. Ginny held strong Christian beliefs and was in regular attendance at Westside Church in Bend where a celebration of life is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2010. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that contributions in her name be sent to the Assistance League of Bend, P.O. Box 115, Bend, OR 97709-0115.
