Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, she was the daughter of the late Carl Knarzer and Cordula Moorman Knarzer.

Virginia was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church in Coatesville and was devoted in her faith. Ginny was athletic, especially loving tennis. She possessed an adventurous spirit, later in life taking up sailing, hiking and camping on the AT, and traveling internationally. Her love for her labrador dogs was obvious to all. The ocean brought her peace.

Campbell (Tammra) of Fort Mill, SC., Janet Vermeil (Dave) of West Chester and Carol Hafford of Durham, ME.; three step-children, Louise Jones Moore (Chris) of Calgary, Canada, Kenneth Jones (Francisca) of Aurora, CO. and Ellen Jones of Toronto, Canada.
