Virginia was an accomplished pianist. She taught piano, played the church organ, composed her own music, and then later served her community by bringing her talents to nursing facilities in the Darke County area.  She was passionate about genealogy and Indian lore, and loved her tenure as a volunteer at Garst Museum in Greenville. Virginia always lovingly put her family first.  We will miss and never forget her.
