She was also preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Stella (Pawelczak) Shire and a grandson, Michael McMullen, who died in 1994. Virginia is survived by her adopted family, Bob and Joy Vail, and their children, Robyn and Don Shinaver, Joylyn and Mike McGee, Rick and Chrissy Vail, Wendy and Mike Heskett, Ryan and Carrie Vail; 10 great-grandchildren of her adopted family and her sister-in-law, Wanda Zimmerman. There will be no visitation with a memorial service at a later date. Many thanks to her friends and the staff of Lutheran Home Assisted Living.
