Virginia Seavy was born to Bert and Hannah Berntson in Tacoma, WA, Sept. 22, 1916. In 1918 they moved to Lakebay, where her father became a captain in the Mosquito Fleet when he joined Ed Lorenz to form the Lorenz-Berntson Navigation Company. She welcomed a sister, Annabelle, in 1921, then spent her growing up years in Lakebay and graduated from 8th grade in 1933 from the new brick school, which is now Key Peninsula Community Services Food Bank and Senior Center. Virginia traveled on her Dad's boat, the Arcadia, to attend the first 2 years of high school in Tacoma. She finished the last two years at Vaughn High School, graduating in 1935. Virginia graduated from Washington State College in 1939 and went to work at Weyerhaeuser Timber Co in Tacoma, where she met Marion Samuelson, who had worked with Keith Seavy at the Olympic Hotel in Seattle. Marion introduced them at a YWCA party. Keith and Virginia were married September 25, 1941 and started married life in Seattle where Keith was head of the accounting department for Safeco Insurance Co. In 1946 Keith was transferred to San Francisco. They moved to Los Altos where Virginia worked as a school secretary until retiring in 1975. Returning to Washington they built a home next door to Virginia's childhood home in Lakebay and joined the Lakebay Community Church that is on the site of her elementary school. She attended elementary school there during the week and Sunday School and Church on weekends. Virginia's hobbies were gardening - she was a Master Gardener - and square dancing. She helped found the Angel Guild in 1978 and was also a member of the Key Peninsula Historical Society. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Keith V. Seavy.
