Virginia was born in Detroit, MI on April 3, 1925 and passed peacefully on November 10, 2020. She was a lifetime resident of Dearborn, MI and graduated from St. Francis High School before receiving her Associates Degree at Detroit Business College. Virginia worked as a teller for the Dearborn Church Credit Union. Her hobbies included sewing, informal interior design, reading, card parties and her dogs; especially her German Shepherd, Shadow. Her favorite song was Debussy’s Claire de Lune. What brought the most joy into Virginia’s life were her immediate and extended family, church activities and travelling. Holidays with extended family, and spending time at her brother’s cottage upstate were her favorite family functions. She also loved cooking and eating Polish food.
