She spent most of her Human Resources career as an employee of the City and worked for several law firms in town.

She was a skilled sewer and knitter creating stunning dresses, coats, and sweaters.

Virginia loved all things French which was piqued while attending Immaculata University and majoring in languages.

Virginia relished the sun on a warm day and spent many years vacationing in New Orleans. She brought life to every room, and connected with everyone she met. Virginia will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her!
