She loved and had a strong spiritual impact on many lives of people that she came in contact with during her employment at Kohler. She was a long-term faithful member of First Missionary Baptist Church in Carthage, Arkansas where she was ordained as a Missionary. Virginia was a loving, kind, humble, firm but soft spoken, praying woman of God. She loved decorating and her dream was to be an interior designer but instead she chose to be a great wife and mother. She was a prayer warrior, a woman of distinction that had the gift of prophecy. She touched so many lives with her hugs, smile and encouraging words. She enjoyed spending time with her family especially the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, with her friends going to dinner or just visiting and attending her family reunions. She hated cooking but baked the best desserts.

Separation

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
