A faithful member of the Rolling Hills Church of Christ, Virginia's lifelong commitment to her faith inspired many. Her gentle spirit and nurturing nature were reflected in everything she did, whether it was through her culinary creations, her beautiful vegetable and flower gardens, or the love and support she provided to her son, David Donaldson. Virginia lived a full life, always finding joy in her passions, including her role as a devoted UK basketball fan and the delightful memories created during family Christmases spent in sunny Florida.
