Virginia Claire Ostler Harris passed away peacefully on June 26, 2015.
Virginia was born at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City on September 7, 1922 to Frank L. and Ada Holmes Ostler. She was the third of five children. She attended Hawthorne Elementary School, Irving Junior High, East High School, and graduated from South High School in 1940.
She married Raymond Glenn Harris on December 26, 1941; later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Together, they were blessed with five children.
Virginia worked several different jobs over the years including the following: typing theses at home, working twelve years as an agent for State Farm Insurance and working seven years for Tingey Insurance with personal insurance lines. She retired in 1990.
She was an active member of the LDS Church, serving in several positions: nineteen years in the Stake Relief Society presidency and fifteen years as the Director of the Family Records Extraction program until it was discontinued in 2010. She and her husband, Glenn, were members of the Canyon Rim Ward for over fifty years and developed many lifelong friendships there.
Virginia loved gardening and spent many hours cultivating and caring for their beautiful yard. She was very proud of her sixty-plus rose bushes. She enjoyed traveling, camping, spending time with her family, and always enjoyed reading a good book. She was computer savvy and was very interested in new technology.
She is survived by her brother, O. Don Ostler, and her children, Katharine Robinson (Houston, Texas), Joanne (Jerry) Allred (Chico, California), Raymond Glenn Jr. (Ingrid), Elizabeth, and Rosemary (Tracy) Tripp. She has eighteen grandchildren and thirty-nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn; parents, two sisters, Marian Behney and Carol Savage; and brother, Bill Ostler.
