She entered the Army in 1951 and worked in Occupational Therapy in El Paso, Valley Forge, Seattle, Denver, and San Antonio, as well as Japan and Germany.
Virginia's love of horses began when she was a child and continued until her death. Her one remaining horse, Teddy, survives. Virginia loved the outdoors and hiking and she was a Master Gardener.
