Bud and Virginia always had their faith and would toast nightly at 5pm to the lord for living another beautiful day.
Virginia was a homemaker and a caregiver to not only her mother for several years she also was the caregiver to the neighborhood. Virginia never met a stranger and was always giving to others especially her famous angel food cake that took 18 egg whites to make. Virginia loved to cook for her family and friends.
Virginia’s favorite pastime was dancing ballroom with her husband and friends at the country club and military events. Bud and Virginia loved to travel and spend time at their second home in Ely Minnesota.
