Virginia A Roth Wilson, 82, devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and passionate Bibliophile and Author, entered eternal rest September 14, 2025. Born February 6, 1943, in Plainfield, IN to the late Russell Roth and Frances Turner Roth. Virginia’s love for literature shaped her life and the lives of her family.
As a CPA and mother of three, Virginia transformed bedtime stories into magical adventures, and went on to write several books, both fiction & non-fiction. She published “The Mustard Seed” by Virgina Roth Wilson in 2022. She holds a degree in Psychology and Certified Public Accounting. She enjoyed flower arranging, canning, making “specialty food dishes’ for family, vacationing in Ludington, Michigan & the Chicago Cubs (Cubbies). Love for her family, friends and cats took center stage in life and her most cherished moments were spending time with them.

Hess, sister Patricia Roth Archer and her 24yr old cat “Lil Bit”.
