Virginia was born and raised in Tampa, attended Hillsborough High School, and got married at the age of 18. After graduation, she worked at National Airlines as a personal secretary to the regional director for 14 years. Once she became a mother, she became fully devoted to her family and community. She was a member of the PTA and her local church. Once her family grew, she gave more and more to helping raise them. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved flowers, music, hallmark ornaments, and was an excellent cook. She will live on through the traditions she started, and her generous spirit.
Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest "Sonny" Turbeville, Jr.; and brother, Merrill Tillman.
Survivors include her daughter, Susan Ramirez (Porfirio); sons, David Turbeville and Jeff Turbeville (Allison); brother, Ben Tillman (Sharon); grandchildren, Tiffany Guaty, Ryan Ramirez, Rebecca Turbeville, Lauren Turbeville, Jenna Turbeville, Hailey Turbeville and Ayden Turbeville; and great-grandchildren, Mila and Liam Cardoso, Ayla Guaty, and Ethan and Logan Ramirez.
