Virginia was an avid baker who also loved bowling and being outside in her garden tending her roses and feeding “her” hummingbirds. She was a member of Meadowlark Community Church in San Marcos, CA.

Her family and friends will miss her positive attitude, thoughtfulness, unconditional love, and delicious pies.
