She loved the opera and was artistic and friendly. She could charm anyone. She and her husband, Tom, who died in 1969, bought their home in West Seattle and cabins on San Juan Island and Twin Lakes, Idaho, where they raised the family and spent many happy times. She loved it when we all sang campfire songs, although she always said that she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. She looked forward every year to hosting a Christmas Party in her home overlooking Elliott Bay, where we gathered with family and friends and ate well, sang, and shared memories.
Virginia was cherished by her family and loved by many whose lives she touched through the years. We will carry her beautiful spirit in our hearts forever.
We have such good memories of Virginia and family over the years. She was always so warm, friendly and welcoming especially when we moved to West Seattle. We know she will be missed by many. We extend our sincere condolences to her family,... moreWe have such good memories of Virginia and family over the years.
