Virginia was a deeply compassionate and selfless woman, known for her generous spirit and love for others. A Baptized member of Crossroads Church in Oakland, Maryland, she lived a life rooted in faith and service. She graduated from Meyersdale High School and went on to earn her associate’s degree in business from the University of Phoenix Technical School. Her passion for cooking led her to attend two years of culinary school at Somerset Vo-Tech, where she sharpened her skills into what many called stellar. Virginia was also a dedicated member of the Finzel Fire Department and served as an EMT, always putting the needs of others first. She had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting deer and fishing in any body of water she could find - ponds, rivers, or lakes. Known as a friend to the friendless, Virginia had a way of connecting with everyone she met. No matter what little she had, she was always willing to give, even if it was just a dollar. But more than anything, she loved watching her children, Mikayla, Shelby, and Anthony, play sports, finding joy and pride in their happiness.
