She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Freeburg and had been a member of St. Genevieve Catholic Church in St. Louis prior to moving to Westphalia. Virginia was an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues, and through the years, she enjoyed playing tennis, traveling, hiking, and especially being with her family. During her working life, Virginia was employed as a care provider to others which takes a person that is sincere, compassionate, loving, and kind like the person she was. This dedication to others speaks so very highly of Virginia.
