Virginia had a desire to help others in need that led to her being volunteer at the Kalkaska County Commission on Aging assisting in US Flag protocol lowering the flag to half staff in memory of a fallen soldier, and chaired many holiday dinners for local seniors. And she was a birthday caller for the United Way.
Virginia's talents were shown through her hooked rugs, which is now almost a lost art, and her crocheting and knitting for her family and friends. She always desired to improve herself and taught herself sign language and loved to write poems, some which were published locally.
Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Charles (Apr 30, 1977); her parents; and brother, George Black.
In her memory, a memorial service will be held in Kalkaska at a time to be announced. Sympathy may be expressed in the form of memorials to Munson Hospice House, or the Kalkaska Commission on Aging.
