Publish in a newspaper
Virginia was born on August 25, 1947, to Christian Valdez and Andrea Ortiz in Clovis, NM. Virginia married Raul Zamarripa on August 8, 1978 in Portales, NM. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, cooking, sewing, traveling, listening to Tejano music, singing Christian music, shopping, and never missed an episode of her novelas-she lovingly called them her "Mavelas."Virginia was known for her style, she was always the best dressed, loved her high heels, and enjoyed sharing "Fear Factor" drinks with her husband. She had a beautiful voice and loved fellowshipping with her church ladies' Bible study. Virginia connected easily with everyone and brought joy wherever she went. She cherished the time she spent with her "besties" and church ladies. She loved their conversations and laughter, and fellowship, and they held a special place in her heart. Though not all names are listed, they know who they are and how deeply she cared for them.
