Virginia was a resident of East Hartford, CT for over 30 years. She was a loving and deeply devoted mother who conveyed a moral compass to all her children and readily lent an ear and encouragement to all. She grew up in Elmwood CT in a house built by her father and was one of eleven children, having four sisters and six brothers. The “sisters” were inseparable throughout their long lives and were fondly known as the “singing sisters”, as they often broke into 5-part harmony at family gatherings. Virginia was a graduate of Hall High School in West Hartford CT. For years she enjoyed working as a supervisor before retiring from Aetna in Hartford CT.

A private memorial service is planned for the immediate family on September 1, 2021. In lieu of flowers, at Virginia's request, donations may be offered to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis TN 38105.
