My wife and I have just been informed of Ms. Virginia's passing and feel a deep loss for a dear friend. She and Frankie (Renfro) Williams had been friends for a long time and we would always take Virginia to Reelfoot Lake with on. We loved spending time with her and she will be deeply missed. Our condolences to the surviving family. Wes & Tommie Stoudenmire

I was so sorry to hear about Virginia's passing. She was one of the nicest woman I ever met. She always spoke to me and visited a minute when I saw her (usually at Walmart), I pray for her family as you go through all of the emotions you will have due to her loss.

Whenever I would take any clothes to her for alterations, she would make a point to ask me about each member of my family. Virginia was a very soft spoken and caring lady who will be missed by many. My deepest condolences go out to her entire family and also to her many friends. She was such a nice lady.
