Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, parents, two brothers, Louis Gardner and Bob Gardner, and one sister, Mary Ann Harrison.
Virginia graduated from Lawson High School and later began her career with S & K Manufacturing, where she worked faithfully until her retirement. She was happiest when surrounded by the people she loved-her sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the many family members and friends who were blessed to know her.
Virginia found peace and joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved spending time at the farm, tending to her garden and flowers, taking long walks, fishing, and simply being outdoors enjoying the beauty of nature. Some of her fondest memories were made on outings with her sister, Carole, with whom she shared a special bond.
Virginia never met a stranger. Her warm heart, easy conversation, and genuine kindness made her beloved by all who crossed her path. She touched countless lives with her love, and she will be deeply missed.
