She was also known for her connection with Lighthouse Laundry and the many friendships she formed there over the years.
In addition to her parents, Virginia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, T.J. Childs; brothers, Lloyd Brooks, Bob Brooks, John Brooks, and Bill Brooks; and sisters, Nell Smith and Dorothy Crippen.
