Virginia graduated from West High. She was the Vice President for Tracy Collins Bank until she and her husband started Dick’s Check and Lube. Virginia loved gardening, Chinese checkers, solitaire, crochet and camping.

In Loving Memory
Dear Butterfields, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much Virginia meant to you. Although I only met her a few times, I still feel like I knew her. I appreciate all the times she gave Parker a ride home from school. I loved hearing how often Carson would tell me he was going to his Grandma's house to help her out around the house. When Anne and I were roommates on the 8th grade trip to DC, I laughed when Virginia told me "You better take good care of Anne and protect my precious cargo!" (meaning Anne and Carson). What an incredible love for her family she had! I know she will continue to love you and protect you throughout your lives. Especially when Carson gets his drivers license and starts driving Parker to school! Love always, Andrea
