Virginia Carol Hampton Hosea

Virginia Carol Hampton Hosea went to be with the Lord on May 18, 2018. Virginia was born on September 10, 1935 in Enid, OK to Jessie Ruby Weems and Paul Ross Hampton. They moved to Houston in 1938, where she continued to live the rest of her life. Virginia graduated in January 1953 from Stephen F.

Virginia enjoyed traveling the world and had visited all seven continents and the US. Her favorite trips involved cruising the world, zip lining in Costa Rica, among many others. Virginia loved music and theater and she spent many evenings attending Broadway shows. She also loved playing Bunco. She was an active participant in many charitable functions throughout her community and always there when help was needed.

Virginia will be missed for her sense of humor, frequent laughter, willingness to give, her fashion sense, and her approach to life: to take each day, good or bad, and make the best of it; being thankful for God's presence her life, her family and friends.

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her children arise and call her blessed…’Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.’ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:10, 28-30 NIV
