Siblings: Linda Juhasz, late Donald MacLean and late Evelyn Ballard. Many loved nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents: William and Jessie McLean. Virginia loved to sing and dance in the kitchen with us as kids, read us bedtime stories, play cards, board games and bake. Sundays we knew there would be a juicy roast waiting after mass at St. Florian, where she was a proud member. Virginia was generous with her crafting skills, sharing her talents. She loved hosting parties and spending time with her husband and family. Virginia is and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers donations to a local food pantry in memory of Virginia would be appreciated.
