She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, and by her loving companion of many years, Lewis Adamopoulous.

In addition to her husband and parents, Virginia was predeceased by her sister, Carol Dell’Aquila; and her brother, Andrew Minka.

A faithful and active member of St. Mary’s Assumption Albanian Orthodox Church, she was devoted to the Women’s Guild, senior luncheons, church festivals, and faithfully working the candle stand.
