Virginia Short Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 22, 2020.
Virginia L. Short, 85, passed away April 20, 2020. She married Robert Short in 1954. They lived in Canon City, CO for 45 years, where he owned a lumber yard. Ginn and Bob moved to Brush Prairie, WA in 1999 to be near their grandchildren and family. Ginn loved the outdoors. She loved to hike, camp, ski, bike, run, swim, sail, walk, dance, play golf and tennis, jeep, and travel. She was an extremely accomplished pianist and accompanied many groups in Canon and Brush Prairie. Faith, family, and friends were her greatest joys. She was the best cheerleader for her children and grandchildren throughout her life. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends.

Dear Bob and The Entire Family,
May we convey our deepest condolences to each of you. Ginn Short was such An Angel sent from God. It was such an honor to know her as well as Bob and their entire family. May you feel God's love, comfort, and peace during this time.
Our love and prayers,
Charlene, Nelise, & Nelea

I thought Virginia and Bob were the perfect couple. My neighborhood walks involved passing their home everyday. My late husband purchased tools and materials at Short Lumber and Bob always stopped to talk with him. Virginia was always friendly and caring. I miss them all.
