Went to church with Virginia many yrs. and worked with her 5 yrs at Woodlawn Nursing Home. Her daughter Kayla and my daughter Susan graduated High School at Landmark Baptist together. We Have had many evenings together at friend's houses in our later yrs. Told me one time that she prayed for me every day. She was a great lady.

Condolences for the family. I am saddened to hear of Virginia's passing. I worked with her many years ago at Woodlawn. She was always willing to help anytime she could and taught me many things. She was one of my favorite people.

Much love and many prayers of comfort. Love Mrs Sipe and she was my hero. She and her husband both. I owe them a large debt of gratitude for all the things done for me as a young girl at Landmark Heaven is a bit sweeter knowing that she is there now.

Mrs. Virginia was a wonderful example of Christian womanhood, and a wonderful help and blessing to her pastor and his family. She loved the children in the nursery like they were her own. Our lives were definitely blessed by knowing her! I'm so thankful or God's precious promises and that we will meet again. Praying for all the family.
