She could always hold a "hot" hand of bridge or cribbage and would play for hours.

When asked about her secret to longevity, Virginia replied " You gotta drink plenty of wine."

Her laughter and enthusiasm for life has left a heart print on us all. Abiding faith and her beloved St.

William's Church were her constant companions.
