I knew Virginia as a wonderful member of the Blue Springs Art League. She was a wonderful artist and gave her time and talents to helping the Art League reach goals. She was a willing worker and always had a smile! She is missed!
I know you have great memories! May God Bless!
Truly, Norma Marshall
Virginia was so patient with me as I learned about various art mediums and helping her coordinate the Blue Springs Art Show. As the years went by, we continued our friendship. Gone and never forgotten!
