Besides her parents, Virginia was preceded in death by two brothers, Gary Dugger and Dale Dugger; and one sister, Brenda Howard.

Virginia is survived by three children, Nick Watson and wife, Jenny, of Mountain Grove, Missouri, Tammy Watson, also of Mountain Grove, and James Watson and wife, Dorothy, of Nixa, Missouri; six grandchildren, Ashlynne Garner, Amber Lutz, Jennifer Bradshaw, Dakota Wiyrick, Jennifer Foster, and Morgan Melton; eight great-grandchildren, Paige Moore, Peyton Bradshaw, Atticus Wiyrick, Wyatt Wiyrick, Luke Foster, Sam Foster, Sevari Melton, and Dakota Lutz and another great-grandchild on the way; one sister, Carol Johnston and husband, Jerry, of Mountain Grove; and many other relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.
