Beloved wife and best friend for over 64 years to the late James Franklin Lockett.

Dearest grandmother to 7, great-grandmother to 4; cherished by a host of other family members and friends.

Virginia was a selfless, kind and loving person, always with a smile and kind word to others, the first to offer a helping hand. She was a dedicated Lutheran Elementary School teacher for 32 years, an avid reader, enjoyed walking, exercising, sharing a glass of wine, loved to travel with Frank in their RV and spend time with family and friends. She lived her life and faith quietly, consistently and joyfully, and had a profound impact on so many. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
