Virginia enjoyed spending time with her friends. Most of all, she cherished spending time with her family. Anyone who knew Virginia knew her warm smile and infectious laugh. She had a big heart and would help anyone. In addition to her countless hours spent volunteering, Virginia loved creating beautiful crafts or relaxing with a good book. She looked forward to traveling to new places and going out to eat with those she loved most. Virginia was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. We will all miss her tremendously! In addition to her parents, Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, William Greiner, Jr.; and brothers, Dale and Larry Lester.
