Virginia loved all of her (10) grandchildren and (15) great-grandchildren which meant the world to her. She especially cherished spending time and creating memories with them.
Virginia was a strong, amazing colorful woman with many talents, who loved to help everyone in need. Some of them were total strangers that she had met in a line somewhere. She loved being in the medical field and guided many into that same career path. She was an excellent cook; her homemade sweet tea and tortillas were legendary. She loved to sing oldies and go out dancing with her husband. She respectfully left her medical career. So, she can focus on her health and family.
