Virginia was preceded in death by her husband Harry J. Will; her second husband Donald Callum: son James H. Will; sister Grace Gerstenschlager; parents Herman & Alma Heineman and one grandchild.
Virginia supported her husband while he was starting the successful family business and legacy of Harry J. Will Funeral Homes. She was a devoted wife and mother throughout all of the good and difficult times they had together. Virginia was extremely active in the Lutheran Communities as well as her neighborhood communities. She was in the Ladies Guild and The Lutheran High School Association. Virginia was even named Lutheran Woman of the Year. She loved flower gardens and was a member of the Farmington Garden Club. Virginia was well known for how exquisite her gardens were. In her later years, she enjoyed traveling and spending her summers in Canada with Don and the many friends she made. However, her passion was her family. Virginia simply loved being a wife, mom, grandma and friend.
