Virginia Ann Postle

Virginia Ann Postle, 82, passed away peacefully on January 30, 2025 surrounded
by her loving family. Born on May 7th, 1942 in Los Angeles, Ca to her loving parents
Edgar and Helen (Virginia) Zimmer, who, coincidentally, were also born on May 7th. She
was raised as an only child by her parents who instilled in her their values and beliefs in
Christianity, love of music and the importance of education. Edgar was a printer by trade
and later became a junior high graphic arts teacher while Virginia was growing up. Her
mother Virginia was a devoted homemaker and later became an elementary school
teacher.
Virginia played various sports while attending Westchester High School where
she graduated in January, 1959. Her competitive spirit continued on into her college
career at UCLA where she earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Education.
Following in her parents' footsteps she received her teaching credential and utilized her
love of athletics as a junior high physical education teacher in the Los Angeles School
District. While attending UCLA Virginia met her husband Jim Postle and together moved
to Boulder, CO in 1968. At the base of Haystack Mountain Virginia raised her three
children Brian, Jamie and Tracy while providing accounting support for the family
business. She enjoyed playing tennis, taking family trips, singing alto and tenor with the
church choir, and contributing to community organizations including Daughters of the
American Revolution, Zonta and her Lutheran Church. Virginia continued her education
and received a Master's of Arts in Pastoral Ministry at St. Thomas Seminary. She
dedicated her knowledge and faith to working with patients and their families as a
Chaplain at St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver. In her later years Virginia enjoyed
traveling and spent a portion of the year at her second home in Goodyear, AZ where
she continued to work on her tennis game, dialed in her golf game, and mastered her
cart driving skills.
She is predeceased by her parents and is survived by her 3 children, 5
grandchildren, and her sweet Havanese, George.
