I remember the Fullmers family in Monticello, we were neighbors and my mother did sewing for the Fullmers girls. I was saddened to hear of her passing and stricken with cancer. My condolences to the family. We are blessed to have the gospel and know where she is reunited with family members who have gone before her. Bless you all.

Virginia was a High School classmate of mine. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. I pass my condolences on to her family. We grew up together and were friends in high school. I lost touch with her when we graduated but I am happy to hear of her success in life and I am sure she provided happiness where ever she was. My condolences to you her family.

My Dear Aunt Virginia, She was always smiling, happy and vivacious. I remember how beautifully she sang "Oh Divine Redeemer!" When my son, Brant, was seriously injured in a car accident, she sent words of encouragement and ideas of things that she recommended might help. We were so humbled that she would be thinking of us, when she was so far away. When we heard of her fall and recent hospital stays, she and her family have been in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. We wish we could do something to comfort you and help you the way you have helped and lifted us. Hugs! Mary Cardon Theurer

In 1977-78 while living in Carmel, IN, we had a kitchen fire in our home. The fire damage was limited to our kitchen; however, our entire home was filled with black soot. A number of people from our church and the neighborhood called to offer help. Virginia didn't call. She just came with her bucket, soap & brushes and went to work. I remember her as a kind, compassionate, hard working lady. My wife and I were her Home & Visiting Teachers. Her family will be remembered in our prayers.
