She loved spending time with family — especially her grandchildren, hosting get-togethers or entertaining for any reason. Virginia volunteered with March of Dimes, Round Prairie Lutheran Church, Greenwood Cemetery, 4-H and Glenville school events. She was an active volunteer and supporter of community cancer fundraising events and activities.

Virginia — aka GG, Nana, Ginny, Gram and Maga — was loved and will be deeply missed by all those who were blessed to be a part of her life.
