Virginia was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and moved to Vancouver in the 1940s, working as a secretary. She was married for 34 years to her husband Hugh, during which they lived in West Vancouver initially, then moved to Vancouver. She loved to read and travel. Most of all, Virginia loved popular music and to sing. Even when her memory had begun to fail her, the words to her favourite songs came easily. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother, and will be dearly missed.
