She possessed a kind and gentle soul, always willing to lend a helping hand and offer words of encouragement to those in need.

Virginia was a graduate of Reading Memorial High School, Class of 1965. Virginia’s passion for volunteering, caring for the elderly as a home health aide, working as a kitchen aide at an pk-5 elementary school, was evident in every aspect of her life. 

Beyond her professional pursuits, Virginia had a deep love for reading, bingo, and singing her favorite tunes. Whether it was volunteering at soup kitchens, organizing youth activities, or at work, she found solace and fulfillment in these moments, often sharing them with loved ones and friends.
