Virginia was born July 30, 1921 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the daughter of Marie Helland Farnham and Albert Carl Iverson. Virginia was a lifelong member of St. Bede Catholic Church and was active in St. Ann's Altar Circle, and the Jarrow Club. Her greatest legacy, however, was her love and loyalty to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Virginia and Arthur were companions for life and when "Papa's" health was failing, she cared for him with true devotion. Pallbearers will be her grandson, John Irwin, her grandsons-in-law, Dr. Bruno Frazier and Charles Rumore, Sr., great grandsons Andrew Frazier and John David Irwin III and brother-in-law Ray Allen. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, 3870 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, AL 36109. Special thanks to the staff and caregivers at Crowne Healthcare of Montgomery.
