Virginia loved to sing and dance in the kitchen with us as kids, read us bedtime stories, play cards, board games and bake.

She loved hosting parties and spending time with her husband and family. Virginia is and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers donations to a local food pantry in memory of Virginia would be appreciated. Funeral Services 9:00 a.m., Monday, September 15, 2025 at Opyt Funeral Home 13350 S.
