Virginia Sue Ulanowski, age 78, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on March 17, 1947, in Childress, Texas, Virginia was the cherished daughter of Kenneth Threet and Pauline Threet (later McQueeny).

She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Pauline McQueeny; father, Kenneth Threet; grandmother, Lilian Bradshaw; sister-in-law, Judy Threet; nephew, Nicholas Ulanowski; and many treasured pets who brought her great joy through the years.

Virginia's life was a testament to kindness, strength, and unwavering love.
