Virginia loved the farm, her garden, her neighbors, her church and most of all her family.  She was a dedicated wife and mother, always putting her family's needs before her own.  She and her husband Eldon owned and operated a sizeable farming operation in Polk, MO. She loved working alongside of him, working the land and making a living and life for her family off of it. They would often purchase other places and work to bring them back to profitable status. In their life together she would often work in the fields or with the cattle until late morning, quit and go fix lunch for all the farm hands, then return to work the rest of the afternoon until time to milk, then start over at 4 am the next day.

Virginia joined the Rachel Donelson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1985 and moved her membership to Matilda Polk Campbell Chapter in Bolivar in 2001.

As a child, Virginia and her family attended the United Methodist Church in Humansville, Mo. Virginia began attending Bolivar United Methodist Church in Bolivar MO in 1948 and was a faithful member until her passing.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorial contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Association.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1 PM, Monday December 31, 2018, in the Bolivar United Methodist Church.
