She enjoyed traveling around the world with her husband. After Bill's time in the service, they later returned to Jasper, Georgia, and opened their own business . They operated the store until their retirement. In 1994, they settled in Warner Robins to be closer to family.

In addition to her parents, Virginia was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, William (Bill) Henry Lunsford; son-in-law, Howard Gregory; five brothers and seven sisters.
