Virginia dedicated her life to her family and to her service at St. Andrew United Methodist Church of St. Albans, where she could often be found in the kitchen cooking for various receptions, services, celebrations and Boy Scout dinners. She also was known for her skills in cake decorating. Friends and family always looked forward to her special cakes. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and gladly greeted by the Lord, our God.
