Virginia Lee Pardo

Virginia was born at Delray Hospital, Detroit Michigan on May 16, 1946. She was the daughter of the late Pedro and Jean (Rudniak) Espinoza. Virginia was trained as a Key Punch Operator in 1977 and she received her Cosmetology License in 1994. She enjoyed going to the casinos and playing the slot machines. Virginia also was a great cook. She was known for her delicious chicken paprikash, cabbage rolls, refried beans and pineapple upside-down cake. Virginia was a member of St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic church in Flushing. It brought Virginia joy to give a small olive wood pocket cross to someone she thought was having a bad day or to give one to someone who was especially nice to her. Virginia was a loving, caring, mother, grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She especially loved her great grandchildren. Virginia was also a very special friend of her estranged husband, Apolonio Pardo. She will be missed by so many.

A memorial to celebrate Virginia's life will be on July 23, 2022, beginning at 10:00am at the Polish Legion of American Vets, (PLAC) Post 8, 4323 W. Carpenter Road, Flint, Michigan 48504.
