Virginia grew up in Dorchester and graduated from Dorchester High School for Girls and Boston Clerical School. She worked for the New England Telephone Company for many years where she was blessed with wonderful friends and met her husband Jim.

In the early years Virginia enjoyed camping, boating and traveling. She was an avid gardener, loved going for walks around her neighborhood, doing puzzles, reading and watching New England sports. She was the quintessential grandmother, always sewing, knitting, crocheting and baking. She made an endless amount of baby sweaters and blankets for gifts and a coffee cake that is impossible to replicate. She loved spending time with her family. We will miss her everyday.
