Francis Virginia Cameron (Gigi), beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully February 10, 2000.
Virginia was born April 20, 1912 in Spring City, Utah to Jacob Fergus Johnson and Emma Pearl Cummings. Married Bret Rumel Woolley in 1935. Children, Sharon W. Gregg and Fergus R. Woolley. Bret died May, 1947. Married Warde Mitchell Cameron, January 1st, 1950. Marriage solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They had one son, Warde Mitchell Cameron, Jr.
Virginia attended Deseret High School, University of Utah, and studied art and sculpture at private institutions. After Bret's death, she became an interior designer, Dinwoody's Furniture Company. She was also a columnist for the Deseret News. When she married Warde, she moved with him to Washington D.C. While there, she contributed articles to the Washington Post, and was active in civic affairs, with initiation as chairwoman for contributions to the Kennedy Center of the Arts. Warde was appointed as Consul General to Holland. After serving as hostess extraordinaire with her husband in Amsterdam, she, Warde, and son, Mitchell, returned home to Salt Lake City. Gigi had an on-going love for the arts and everything beautiful. Travelling extensively, she always felt the need to preserve and beautify historical landmarks. She quickly became involved in the different Leagues, and other organizations in Salt Lake, including the Heritage Society, Utah Historical Society, the Art Guild, etc. She was on the Governor's advisory committee for the restoration of the Devereaux House and the South Temple Task Force. She helped initiate the preservation of the Union Pacific depot, and the original ZCMI storefront. She was listed in the Worlds' Who's Who of Women in 1974-75.
Virginia was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holding positions in the Church Relief Society, Young Women's organization, etc. Gigi was an artist, gardener, and gourmet cook. She loved travelling and partaking of the beauties of the world, but most of all, she was a loving family matriarch, daughter, and wife. We will miss her beautiful zest for life.
She is survived by her daughter; two sons; fourteen grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; and beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
