Virginia was born in Logan, Utah on December 14, 1920, to David Winter Smith and Evelyn Lowry Smith.
Virginia has had a life filled with service. She started early learning all the homemaking arts and participating in 4H club where she won national honors with her canning.

Virginia attended the University of Utah where she met Barr McCune Musser. They were married on July 22, 1942 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They both continued their studies and graduated while expecting their second child.
