Funeral Director

Virginia has enjoyed actively participating in many community clubs and organizations, including Musical Arts, the Notabelles and PEO, as well as providing costumes for community productions and teaching Sunday school at the First Presbyterian Church throughout the years.

‘Broadening her horizons’ is a theme she has emphasized her entire life. She never missed an opportunity to learn about other cultures, art, food, and religious ideas, and held a genuine interest in all things unusual and exotic to Midwestern America.
Memorials may be made to the First Presbyterian Church in her memory.
Peasley Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
