Her love for her family was the only thing that kept her in Missouri. She had a BIG personality and had many signature gestures; such as small notes, and smiley faces. She loved being a comedian, and making people laugh. People often noticed the bright colors she wore. Virginia loved her tiny trinkets, her blue mascara, her pets, her tye dye, her give back kids, Oh Boy did she love her PEEPS (if you're hearing this, that most likely includes you.). Virginia was fearless, and had her own opinion and it didn’t matter if it differ from yours. She stood strong, and clung to what she believed. She was dependable, always there for everyone (even if a few minutes or hours late.) Virginia held many positions, such as the newspaper in Riverside, CA “Press Enterprise” where she layed out newspaper articles. injection molding at C. Brewer Company in Anaheim, Ca., Heat sealed vinyl at Thistle Inc. in Belle, Mo. and Owensville, Mo. Virginia paid attention to detail in her employment. Virginia’s most treasured position was with MI Serenity in Rolla Mo. Virginia worked, served, and made family with those she worked for and with. They also became her PEEPS. If Virginia was going to leave you any advice today, it would be “Nice is not an option.” and “If it’s not fun, don’t do it.” If we were going to use Virginia’s words: Are we going to miss her? “abso-freakin-lutely!” Virginia is loved and will be missed by so many.
