Virginia was a delightful woman whose life was filled with music, love, and joy. She had a deep passion for playing the accordion, an instrument that brought her immense joy and allowed her to share her love of music with those around her. Her melodies were a source of comfort and happiness to her family and friends, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

She was a devoted aunt to her nieces and nephews, and her love extended even further to her great nieces and nephews, and great great nieces and nephews. Virginia had a special way of making each one feel uniquely loved and valued. Her home was always filled with laughter, warmth, and the sound of her accordion, creating a haven of love and togetherness.
