At an early age (9), I looked to my Aunt Gin (Virginia) as someone to look up to. Aunt Gin was the kind of person that I wanted to emulate because of the good example she set for others. Her kindness and selflessness were very endearing to me. And now as an adult, in my sixties, I can truly see that Aunt Gin found more happiness in giving than in receiving. She seemed very content in her life of service to others. And her way of life reflected happiness and satisfaction. Debbie Richards
My condolences to the family. I married her late nephew’s (Ralph Antweiler) son, Michael Antweiler. I wish I could’ve known Virginia because she sounds like an amazing woman to have known. I’m not shocked that she loved to bowl since it seems to be a family pastime…Ralph and Michael were/are avid bowlers.
We are so sorry for the loss of Virginia! She was such a sweet lady. We will miss her.
I’m truly saddened to hear the world lost the light that Virginia emulated! Heaven gained one fine lady. When I asked Virginia what the secret to life was given she always displayed vigor, gumption, positivity and youth for her age, she smiled and said she guess it would be “attitude”. She said, “your outlook on life and the attitude you bring to each season will drastically effect the outcome”. Maintaining a positive attitude in even the bad times is what kept her young in spite of having lost many of her siblings and friends already. She volunteered regularly and showed servanthood and always remained positive and hopeful. She was such a special lady who will be dearly missed.
I knew Virginia as a wonderful co-worker and friend at the Missouri State Library. She was always a positive, cheerful person and very sharp and perceptive. After she retired, we reconnected because she lived next door to my father She did indeed love to walk! I admired her commitment to walking even into her 90s. She was a delight to talk with and a joy to know. She will be missed by all who knew her. Nancy Doering
