Virginia was loved by all who knew her. She had a gift for putting people at ease and was always ready to help, giving freely of both her time and resources. So many children in her family remember the fun times they spent with her. She loved the holidays, and Christmas was especially magical in her home. She and Tom enjoyed family vacations at Lake George and they made a cozy country home in the Poconos, where they formed many lasting friendships in their community.

Above all, Virginia cherished her family. She was predeceased by her sisters, Rita and Eileen, and her brothers, Robert and Harry Jr. She is survived by her daughter, Joanne Sullivan (Michael); her son, Thomas J.
