Virginia was born in Mexico City and in her early life she worked at Mexicana de Aviacion, she moved to San Antonio, Texas later on where she met her beloved Fausto, they married. Virginia worked as a Caregiver, very giving and helpful to anyone she’d meet and very creative when it came to her love for knitting, crocheting and sewing. She had a love for nature and always took pride in her plants. She loved being out of the house, especially when going out to try a new restaurant with Fausto. They enjoyed traveling, time at the library, visiting family and friends and spending time at the VFW where she enjoyed watching Fausto play in pool tournaments. Although she will not be physically here, she has left behind her love for the great grandchildren. Virginia, you will always be remembered in the hearts of those that knew you.

Thank you to Magnolia Hospice for always going beyond the call of duty. Thank you to University Hospital, Legend Oaks Healthcare & Rehab. Thank you to Elsa, Susie, Fausto, Emma, Maria for always being there, day and night and never leaving, it didn’t matter how hard it got. Lord God was always present in the midst of it all.
