Virginia was a homemaker most of her life.  She retired in 1995 after having worked 13 years as a nurse and as an EMT for both Lee Hospital and Keller Memorial Hospital.

A wonderful cook and baker, Virginia made the most delicious pecan pie and chocolate cream pie. She also enjoyed raising beautiful roses over the years.  Taking trips to the boat occasionally to play the slots, reading non-fiction books, dancing to country music, and crocheting were also a few of Virginia’s favorites. Most of all, Virginia enjoyed the time she could spend with her friends and family.

Virginia was a Baptist by faith and previously attended Milton Christian Church.

Pallbearers will be Carlos Ramirez, Johnathon Lee Robb, William D. Robb, John Robb, Roy Robb and Ron Robb.
