Virginia Maria Shreffler was born on July 30, 1954, in Guthrie OK to Kenneth and Hazel McEwen. She passed away October 20, 2011, in Oklahoma City OK after an illness of several months. Virginia grew up in and attended elementary school in Meridian OK and graduated high school in Coyle OK in 1972.
Virginia married David Shreffler on June 10, 1972; and David's U.S. Army service took him to Vietnam a few days after they were married. Upon his return from Vietnam, David and Virginia lived in Gainesville VA until his discharge from the Army. Following several years in Texas, they returned to Guthrie in 1979 where they raised their sons Jeremy and Cory.
Virginia was happy that they were able to build their home on land homesteaded by her great-grandfather, Alpheus Goodrich, in the 89er Land Run. She was a devoted mother to her children and loved animals as well; she adopted many stray animals over the past 20 years as she could not bear to turn away an animal in need.
Virginia leaves her husband David of the home; sons Jeremy Shreffler and wife Karina of Tulsa OK, and Cory Shreffler of Meridian OK; precious grandchildren Clara and Adam Shreffler of Tulsa; parents Kenneth and Hazel McEwen of Guthrie; brother Richard McEwen and wife Alice of Perry OK; nephew Jacob McEwen of Stillwater OK; uncles David Goodrich of Guthrie, and Floyd Goodrich and wife Marvel of Noble OK; cousins Brenda Nivens and Marlene Stangl; brother-in-law Lawrence Shreffler, Jr., of Ohio; and sisters-in-law Marlene Koenig of Ohio, Karen Norris, and Cheryl Short of Guthrie.
She was preceded in death by her little brother Bruce McEwen; grandparents Cleo and Clarice McEwen, and Roger and Elsie Goodrich; father- and mother-in-law Lawrence and Oricedell Shreffler; and aunt Marilyn Goodrich.
Virginia was baptized into Christ at the Guthrie Church of Christ as a teenager. Her favorite time was when her grandchildren from Tulsa visited. She also loved her three dogs and cats and crossword puzzles.
Services will be held Saturday, October 22, 2011, at 10 a.m. at Smith Memorial Chapel with Reverend Lawrence Shreffler, Jr., officiating. Interment will follow at Summit View Cemetery.
