Virginia immigrated to the United States with her family in 1969 and later obtained her U.S. citizenship. She was a dedicated homemaker and also managed rental properties in Florida. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, gardening, and baking. She was truly the happiest when she was cooking for family. She was well known for her delicious Italian cooking and baking and her famous Limoncello. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family playing Italian card games. She opened up her home to many, if you walked in a stranger you’d leave as a friend. Family always came first for Virginia and we are comforted to know we will always have these treasured memories of her.
