Virginia Brittain

Virginia (Ginny) Stepper Brittain was born on February 25, 1927 in Hildebran, NC to Ethel E. Rogers. She was later adopted by her step-father, Frank Stepper. Ginny grew up in Washington, DC where she and her best friends, Jean, Shirley, and Betty, spent many hours at some of the upper-scale DC hotel pools hoping to meet a movie star! They were rewarded when they got to meet Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. to name a few. After graduation from high school, she began working with the federal government, first with the Department of Transportation, and later after she moved to Winston-Salem, the National Labor Relations Board.

Ginny was preceded in death by her mother and step-father, her brother, William Francis (Bill) Stepper whom she adored, and her husband of 40 years, Aubrey Brittain. She is survived by her daughter, Susan, of Clemmons, her son, Bill of Winston-Salem, and grand dog, Gingin. She is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews and her special friend, Mattie Barney.
