Virginia was educated at The Hockaday School and Southern Methodist University where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi. She was a dedicated Christian, a lifelong member of Scofield Memorial Church and an avid student of the Bible. Virginia’s faith not only sustained her throughout her life by also gave her a servant’s heart to reach out to others with a generous and loving spirit. Virginia and W.L. were married in 1938. They enjoyed a wonderful life together until his death in 1998. Together they were devoted parents to their beloved son Warren who has benefited greatly from their love and steadfast dedication.

Along with a group of very special friends, she especially enjoyed her “Sewing Club” that met weekly for close to 65 years. As Virginia faced the end of her life, she was comforted by the knowledge that “when absent from the body, she would be present with her Lord.” The family wishes to thank Virginia’s caregivers, Virginia Cooks, Lila Kirkpatrick, and Donna Williams.
