Aunt Virgie, being one of my favorite aunts was as kind and loving person as you would ever expect to meet. I will always remember in my younger days, when I was ill Virgie would always send a card with either gum or a dollar bill tucked in it. She always had a huge smile on her face and NEVER had a bad word to say about anyone. May she rest in peace, in that house not made with hands, eternal in the skies.
Virgie was quite a woman. I loved to hear her stories about her childhood and about her neices and nephews. I have known her for the last 3 1/2 years. She has ‘hired and fired’ myself and other staff numerous times. Bingo will not be the same, she always reminded us to announce Bingo times. It was a honor to celebrate her 100th birthday this past May with her family and all of her friends here at Life Care. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Aunt Virgie was a pillar in the family and will be sorely missed. She loved people and people loved her. She could easily light up a room with her upbeat personality and her contagious smile…this was evident at the care home she occupied for seven years, where most people are depressed and ‘down,’ she successfully lifted them up. God has taken back one of His angels.
How do you honor the last of a generation? Our Aunt Virgie was a great model and positive influence in the Morris Family. She was always outgoing and upbeat in the most sincere way and to us kids, a true adult friend. We knew her as a basketball player, a great cook and hostess, and one who never forgot a birthday. The image of her in an apron urging us all to have another helping at family gatherings sticks with me as does her enjoyment of days with Gordon at their Drury cabin and welcoming them on their (only?) trip to California. If there was ever an argument for the effect of a positive, engaged and loving life on longevity, Aunt Virgie was it and she will be missed.
