Virginia Larson Obituary
February 4, 2024
Sacramento, 2/4/24 - Virginia Grace Larson passed away on February 4, 2024 at the age of 100 of natural causes in Sacramento, CA.
Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Alphonse J. and Grace Kramer.
Preceded in death by Robert, her loving husband of 65 years.
Survived by her daughters, Sally Needham (David), Jane Hamiton (Dean), and Judy Larson Manley, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Moved to Stockton, CA in 1925 and then to Antioch, CA in 1929. She graduated from Antioch High School in 1941.
Attended Dominican College until her parents moved to Sacramento and bought Bachman Printing and Box, which became Kramer Carton Company, where Virginia worked with her father. She continued working part time after marrying her husband, Robert P. Larson in 1946, and while raising her three daughters.
In 1973 upon the death of her father she became fully active in the company again and when her mother died, she became CEO and Robert became President of Kramer Carton Company.
They totally complemented each other in handling all of their business and personal lives.
She retired in 2002.
Virginia loved to travel the United States and Europe.
She enjoyed antiquing and "junking" …Loved a "FIND"!
She also enjoyed Tahoe… laying on the beach and floating on her raft.
She spent many weekends in San Francisco with Robert, walking Crissey Field, shopping, theater and dinners out.
She was affiliated with Young Ladies Institute, the USO, Alpha Zeta Beta, Mercy Guild, Loyola Guild (2 times President) Soroptimist Club and Assistance League (Sapphires)
She was always meticulously dressed, known in her later years for her beautiful scarves and jewelry. People were always surprised at her age.
Her family would like to thank her wonderful caregivers, Juliet, Chrissy and Caroline.
Interment will be private. No flowers please.
