Together they built a life full of love and family, raising five children: Richard, Carol, Christine, Karen, and Cindy. The family lived in several areas of California before moving to Walla Walla, Washington for five years due to Gordon's work. In 1978, they settled first in Roseburg and then

caring for her family. She had a lifelong passion for plants and flowers and could often be found

tending to her garden, growing a variety of beautiful blooms. Her many hobbies included

collecting stamps, coloring, reading, embroidery, and working on puzzles. From time to time,

she also enjoyed helping in the jewelry department at the family's Ben Franklin store.

A woman of quiet strength and unwavering faith, Virginia was a devout Christian who deeply

loved the Lord. She was known for her gentle spirit, her perseverance through challenges, and

her steadfast determination.

Virginia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gordon; daughter, Carol; three

grandchildren, Jason, Jacob, and Crystal; and numerous siblings. She leaves behind a legacy of
