Virginia Anne Howard DeVries Sohn was born in February 1934 to Philip Eugene and Katharine Gillingham Howard. She met her first husband, Bud DeVries, at Wheaton College in the early 1950s, and the couple moved to the Philippines after his graduation. After learning the Cuyonon language from a friend, Ginny took over a translation project that would eventually culminate, in 1982, in the publication of a Cuyonon New Testament. The DeVries family moved back to the States in 1979. Although she never moved back to the Philippines, Ginny worked directly on a Cuyonon dictionary until 2009.
She is survived by her three children, Kenneth DeVries, Peter DeVries and Pamela DeVries Carlson. Also by three brothers, David, Thomas & James Howard.
