Family was the heart of Virginia's life from the very beginning and for much of her life lived surrounded by family. She was fortunate that her beloved sister, Mary June Griffin, brother-in-law Vernon Griffin, and her four nephews lived next door.
Virginia shared 49 devoted years of marriage with her husband, Gerald Fadden, who proceeded her in death in 2004. The couple raised three children: Edward Fadden (Deborah), Marjorie Kubacki (Lawrence), and Mark Fadden.

She also leaves behind a large and loving extended family, including 16 nieces and nephews who cherished her presence and guidance.
Virginia's life was marked by grace, devotion, and quiet strength. At age 40, she, Gerald and family began a journey that took them to live in many places across the country-including Ohio, California, Georgia, and Texas. In 1999, she and her husband Gerald moved back to Illinois settling in the Carillon community in Plainfield where they continued to spend joyful years together. The couple were active in the Saint Mary Immaculate parish and served as Eucharistic ministers. They also served as volunteers at Edward Hospital.

She made holidays and family gatherings truly special, building lasting traditions and memories that will be treasured by generations. She was a steady, faith-filled presence in the lives of those she loved, offering quiet wisdom, compassion, and unwavering support.
Throughout her life, Virginia held fast to her Roman Catholic faith, drawing strength and peace from her deep belief in God. Her legacy is one of love, kindness, and faith. Virginia will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
