Virginia Ruth Howard, 83, passed away peacefully August 5, 2020 in Waco.
Services Pending: Gravesides services to be held at Oakland Cemetery, Navasota, Texas, next to her parents.
Virginia, affectionately called “Gin-Gin” by her family, was born in Houston to William Ellis Guess and Edna Abbott Guess February 6, 1937.
Virginia’s father worked for Humble Oil, requiring the family to move around Texas in her younger years, but she particularly loved to share stories about her high school days in Luling.
She attended Austin Business School, worked in computer services for 31 years, and retired from the Texas Farm Bureau in Waco.
Virginia had a passion for organizing the annual Guess and Abbott family reunions, watching sports (especially if her grandsons were playing), cooking Sunday lunch for the family, and making holiday wreaths, but her greatest pleasure was spending time with her two grandchildren. She will be remembered for her love of family, friends, and Jesus Christ.
Virginia never met a stranger and her legacy will live on in the people she loved.
Virginia was preceded in death by her daughter, Paula Gwen Gupton; first husband, William H. Gupton of Clarksville, Tennessee; second husband, Preston Howard of Waco; and brothers, Berle Guess, Robin Guess, and Doyle Guess.
She is survived by sons, Wade Gupton and wife, Nancy, and Gary Howard; grandsons, Will Gupton and Robert Gupton; brother, James Guess of San Antonio, and many cousins, nephews and nieces.
