She was united in marriage to Fielding Tipton on October 7, 1977, at the Mt. Pleasant Church in rural Union County. They enjoyed 45 years together prior to her death.

Virginia was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother whom you could often find relaxing while fishing. She enjoyed feeding and watching hummingbirds, gardening and loved to cook and bake for her family. Above all, she loved spending time with her family.

Other than her father, she is preceded in death by a sister-in-law, Beverly Grant.
