Virginia Wayne Obituary
April 13, 1928 - December 5, 2024
Virginia Wayne, 96, went peacefully to join her daughter Liz in heaven on December 5, 2024. She was born in Davenport on Friday, April 13, 1928, to Jesse and Francis Day. Virginia was always proud that the Jesse Day Relays were named after her father. Virginia was cremated per her wishes.
Virginia started her career as a teacher in Moline then taught for many years in the Rock Island School District ending her career at Audubon Elementary. She was honored that her only daughter followed in her footsteps as a teacher.
Virginia had a close, loving family that adored her, and her entire family was together to celebrate her 95th birthday last year. Her family includes sons Bill (Jackie), Dave (Gwen), Jim (Maria) and daughter Elizabeth (Liz who passed away in 2020.) Grandchildren include Jensen (Kira), Drew (Natalie), Slater, Francesca, Veronica, Jessica, Nathan and Bond. Great-grandchildren include Kyler, Karter, Kolton, Bennett, Tycho and Vesper.
Virginia lived life being happy every day. May we all follow in her footsteps. A celebration of life will be arranged at a future date.

I have wonderful memories of taking Liz and Virginia to London. They were fun travel companions. We continued to see each other through Irish dance. Both beautiful women inside and out!

I am so sorry for your loss. Virginia ate her meals at the Quartet with my mom and I really enjoyed getting to know her. She was lovely.
