Virginia L. Hargrove

Virginia passed from this life to her eternal life in Heaven on Friday, October 21, 2016. Proud mother of four sons, James Lanny 'Jim' and wife Carolyn, Val Lee and wife Shelley, Barry J., widowed and Richard Dale 'Rick' and wife Crystal. She has three grandsons, Andrew Hargrove, Alston Hargrove and Jason Hargrove; three granddaughters, Brittany Hargrove Milam, Alexandria Hargrove and Monica Hargrove Kriner; three great grandsons, Cy David Milam, Westley Aaron Milam and Sean Kriner; three great granddaughters, Abigail Reese Milam, Avery Christine Hargrove and Amanda Kriner; and one great-great granddaughter, Isabelle Kriner.

Virginia was born in Mexia, Texas in 1926 to the late Thomas James and Laura Louella Henderson. The eighth child of ten, Virginia’s formative years during the Great Depression prepared her for the difficult days of World War II. She met and married the love of her life, Elbert J. (Buster) Hargrove and married in August 1945. They settled in Victoria in 1950 and raised their four sons. A busy time ensued that centered around church, volunteering and carrying out her most cherished role as wife and mother.

As the matriarch of a large family that truly loves each other, Virginia accomplished with love, faith and proud dignity a legacy that will continue for generations. Thanksgiving, Virginia’s most favorite holiday, will be a reunion feast in Heaven this year!

The family invites all friends and family to a visitation on Tuesday, October 25th at Colonial Funeral Home from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. Graveside Services will be held 10:00 am on Wednesday, October 26th at Memory Gardens Cemetery, US HWY 87 N., Victoria, Texas.
