Born March 20, 1929 (The first day of Spring), she was the eldest daughter of the late Herschel and Leola (Kendal) Wilkins.

She was married to William Ben Switzer in 1945, who preceded her in death in 1961. Also preceding her in death were her brothers; Robert, Scott, and Kenneth. And sister, Glenna. Her only son Patrick tragically died during the COVID epidemic.

She is survived by her three daughters, Pamela Kay Maskel (George) of Covington, IN, Deborah Lynn Grant of Indianapolis, Billi and her husband Gregory, and their families. Additionally, she is survived by eight grandchildren Matthew, Natalie, Tiffany, Jason, Kristin, Angela, Joshua, and Ashley, fifteen great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren with two being born soon. She is also survived by her sister, Bette Greenwood and her children Mark and Beth.

Virginia was well known for her fashion sense, working in the fashion industry most of her life. She was passionate about style! An amazing gardener, she loved her flowers and won many awards for her gardens.

She never met a stranger and was loved by countless people. Active in her church, especially the Elderberries, she could always be counted on to help.

It has been said of our mother that what kept her vibrant and alive, was that she loved life to the fullest and appreciated beautiful things. She passed that love on to her three daughters and to the next generation. She will be greatly missed by all.
