Virginia Libby Obituary
Virginia Frances (Fleming) Libby, 80, of Plymouth Mass., formerly of St. Augustine, Fla., passed away on Sept. 3, 2012 at Wingate at Silverlake. She was born in Dorchester, Mass., on June 19, 1932, daughter of Peter and Anna Fleming.
Virginia graduated from Weymouth High School class of 1950. She worked as a cake decorator for years while staying home with her children. During 1973 the family relocated to St. Augustine, Fla., where Virginia later worked for AT&T. Virginia enjoyed all kinds of crafts including painting, stamping, crocheting and scrapbooking. She also enjoyed baking and watching the many birds that filled her yard. Virginia read to the blind, volunteered locally for Meals on wheels and at Flagler Hospital. Virginia was adored by her three daughters- Brenda Durant and her husband Kevin of Halifax, Mass., Michele McGarry and husband Denis of Plymouth, Mass., and Elaine Andrews and husband Gary of Pompano Beach, Fla. She was the proud grandmother to Heather (Durant) Blaine and Gayle (Durant) Holmes. Virginia was the great-grandmother to five great-grandchildren. Virginia came from a family of three sisters, Lorraine Walo of Port Richey, Fla., Joan Hughes of Port Richey, Fla., Kathy Cennami of Lakeville, Mass., and the late Peter Fleming. Other survivors include her best friend and sister-in-law Nancy Porazzo and her many friends and neighbors in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Fla.

I have good memories of Aunt Virginia at the old house in Pembroke on Little Sandy and visiting when we went to the pond for swimming lessons.
She was a great godmother and I feel richer for having had her as my aunt. I am so sorry for your loss.

To the Libby girls,
Remember this? We would play Art Linkletter when I came to visit for overnights in Pembroke. Your mother would ask questions about my mother…. What did she make me for breakfast? What did she cook for dinner? I never thought a thing about it until I got feedback many years later…
We are thinking of you and hoping you are sharing many great memories.
Love, Nancy and Mark

Some of my greatest memories of my childhood were the summer parties at Auntie Virginia's house.
As an adult, I didn't see her much, but always enjoyed any time together. She made the best blueberry muffins!
Auntie Virginia was one of the kindest people, and she loved her children and her sisters so very much.
Heaven has gained a shinning star.

We will miss Aunt Virginia, my wonderful God mother who always had something sweet to say..and something sweet to eat. All of her nieces and nephews have great memories of spending time at the pond and most of all spending time with our cousins there. Auntie Virginia made us all feel so much a part of her family. Our thoughts are with her sisters,Lorraine, Joan Kathy, her daughters, Brenda, Michelle and Elaine, those who knew her best and hope those memories remain the strongest.
