She was born August 15, 1936 to Virgil and Marine Sanders in Wichita Falls. Virginia loved to crochet and made many beautiful blankets for her family. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and playing bingo. Ice cream and cookies were a treat that she could not do without. Virginia was such a people person and was loved so much by all who met and knew her. She always had a hug and smile for everyone, and you always felt loved and welcome in her home. She was a great cook and made so many great holiday sweets that we all enjoyed.
