She raised six sons with love and care. Provided 3 meals a day and pressed Levis for school each day. She worked with Little league baseball, Pony league and Senior league baseball for nearly 25 years in concession stand or driving children to games.
Her home was always open. Evangelist, visiting preachers, missionaries were provided room and board at the Popes. She never thought anything different was to be considered. Her Christian example was evident to all who knew her. Virginia loved to visit with people, never encountering a stranger.
Virginia loved her family and was always mindful of each one – children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren. Keeping up with each birthday and enjoyed hearing about their accomplishments.
