Virginia Wafford

Virginia Faye Wafford, age 79, of Idabel, Oklahoma, passed away, Thursday, March 26, 2026, at the McCurtain Memorial Hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma. She was born Saturday, November 23, 1946, to Raymond Leon and Wyota Juanita Wheeler Gash in Brawley, California.

Virginia lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service to others. A faithful member of Golden Baptist Church, she carried her love for the Lord into every part of her life. She deeply loved her family, and her grandchildren were a constant source of joy and pride. Virginia dedicated 21 years to education, teaching kindergarten and first grade in Tom, Forest Grove, and Primary South in Idabel, where she touched the lives of countless children with her patience and care. Outside the classroom, she found happiness in listening to gospel music, traveling with her family, sewing, and cooking. Her home was often filled with warmth and the sweet aroma of her homemade chocolate pie, a favorite that will be greatly missed. Virginia's life was a beautiful reflection of love, kindness, and devotion, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.
