Bill passed away in Payette from complications of diabetes in his 70s. Her daughter, Cindy, also died from diabetic complications in her 40s. Virginia was a lifelong homemaker and loved children so much that, in addition to her four children--she and Bill became foster parents. She also loved music and was a master of many musical instruments. One instrument that many members of her church loved to hear her play was the marimba. In her later years, she watched two of her grandsons playing a video game and thought it looked fun. She purchased her own game console and quickly upgraded to a personal computer. She became something of a senior citizen computer geek and with the world now opened to her fingertips; became the family genealogy wiz. She was a lifelong member of the Payette Assembly of God Church. She is survived by her sons, Gerald residing in Alabama; Roderick residing in Oregon and daughter Kimberly of Payette.
