Virginia Dailey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sorensen Funeral Home - St. Petersburg on Feb. 3, 2026.
Virginia "Loreli" Dailey Virginia "Loreli" Dailey passed away on January 25, 2026. Born in Kentucky on March 16, 1941, Loreli grew up in Ohio before moving to Florida in 1973 with her husband, Albert Eugene Dailey, and their two daughters. Loreli was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Albert. She is survived by her two daughters, Cindy Perkins and Anita Padgett, both of Florida; two sisters, Velma Hoop of Ohio and Judy Cook of Indiana; seven grandchildren who adored her; and many great grandchildren. She attended Grace Connection Church in St. Petersburg and cherished time with her family. She was known for being quick-witted and feisty. You never had to guess what she was thinking; she would tell you! Some of her happiest moments were spent in the mountains with family and traveling to her daughter's second home atop King Mountain in Blairsville, Georgia where they had many happy adventures. In her later years, while in a nursing home, Loreli enjoyed eating snacks, puzzle books, eating snacks, making jewelry, eating snacks, playing bingo, and eating snacks, but her favorite pastime was doing trivia with her daughter, son-in-law, and friends. She was well-loved by residents and staff alike. Loreli will be deeply missed and forever remembered by family and friends.
