Virginia L Gailey

Dansville

Born June 13, 1939 in Howell, MI., the daughter of Fredric C. and Virginia (Foster) Wilson passed away June 9, 2013 at the age of 73.

She was a member of the Mason Chapter #150 Order of Eastern Stars. She was a dedicated volunteer for many years with the Dansville Food Bank, Dansville Fire Department, and Dansville Lions Club and a lifelong member of the Dansville Methodist Church.

Virginia was preceded in death by a son, Kurk (1977), and brother Fred (1986). Surviving to cherish her memory are her children: daughters, Kathy (Doug) Kolmos of Holt and Karen Smigelski of Mulliken; and sons, Kenneth Gailey of Georgia, Keith (Anne) Gailey of Williamston, and Kris (Kathy) Gailey of Leslie; eleven grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren.

Virginia was also an avid supporter of the Dansville Band, Dansville Athletics and the Scouting program. Her work at the Dansville Community Schools created many memories and relationships with generations of students.

Her passions in life included her gardening, tending to her multiple flower beds and providing assistance to those less fortunate.

Always one to lend a hand, her community pride and involvement will be missed as well as her love, humor and laughter.

A special thanks to Jerry Lee and Janice Reid for their many years of unconditional love and support.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, June 22 at Fairview Cemetery, Dansville, MI at 2 p.m.

Contributions in memory of Mrs. Gailey may be made to The Dansville Clothing and Food Bank, 1361 Mason St., Dansville, MI 48819.
