Virginia enjoyed sewing and embroidery projects, candle wicking and ceramics. She loved baking apple pies and cinnamon rolls for her family, neighbors and friends. Her baked sugar cookies were a specialty and were enjoyed especially by her grandchildren. She also made lemon bars and lemon cakes, which were enjoyed by Francis. She also canned produce from her large garden that was planted every year.
Virginia enjoyed neighbors and friends who would stop to see her and Francis, always making sure they would have coffee and baked goods ready for those who stopped for some visiting. Her children remember all the dedication she put into the laundry and cleaning of their home to make sure it was nice and tidy.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, John, Al, Jim and Gus Johanson; and sisters Alva Rosburg, Annie Teng, Margaret Lacy, Irene Caudill and Helen Nelson.
