She worked at Labarr’s Restaurant in Fayette, and the Hurd Lock Defense Plant during World War II. Later she worked in Wauseon at Miller’s Super Valu and retired in 1978 from Roger Miller Ford.
All of her life Virginia loved to talk with people, and took great pride in remembering the many family and friends that she had contact with. In her retirement years, she would stay active at home by doing her own cooking, cleaning, ironing and sewing. Her morning hours were spent working the crossword puzzles in the Toledo Blade and reading current events in the newspapers. She also found time to write letters, thank-you notes and greeting cards to many people.

She also was past assistant treasurer of the church and past treasurer of UCC Women’s Fellowship.
