Her faith in the Lord was very important to her; she consistently sought out the good in people. Her faith and family was what was most important in her life. She was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene in Mount Vernon.
After retirement, Virginia volunteered at a local hospice unit, hospital and Interchurch. She enjoyed taking care of her many flowers surrounding her home. She enjoyed quilting, making them for family members, Flying Horse Farm Camp and for Quilts for Kids.
