Virginia moved to Westlake, Louisiana, in 1961, where she made lifelong memories and friendships. She graduated from Westlake High School in 1967 and later pursued higher education at McNeese State University. In 1996, she proudly earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology, sociology, and criminal justice—an accomplishment that reflected her dedication, perseverance, and love of learning.
In her younger years, Virginia enjoyed bowling alongside her parents and brothers and proudly placed first in a state tournament with her mother. With her mother serving as a coach, Virginia also developed a love for athletics, particularly softball and basketball.
Virginia devoted 25 years of her life to working as a tax professional, serving her clients with integrity, care, and commitment until her passing.
She cherished time spent at the beach and in Gulf Shores, creating lasting memories filled with laughter alongside friends and her coworkers.
