Virginia was well known for her pecan pies that she would bake during the Christmas Holiday. She was a devoted mother and grandmother to all. She was a farmer’s wife who helped in the fields and provided for her family as a great homemaker. In addition, she retired from Belks after many years of service. Up until the past few years, she was always ready to take a trip with anyone she could talk into it, even driving until she was in her mid 80’s. She was a faithful member of Jasper Christian Church and truly loved her church family.
