Virgilene loved music, dancing, their player piano and being with all of her family. Back in the “CB” days she was known as the “River Queen”, and that she was! She was involved in the start of the Westown Baseball League; she was a substitute rural mail carrier, a cashier at the Stanford’s Grocery, and was a homemaker. The “Hunter’s Ball” was always held at their home during deer season. She also enjoyed watching the Detroit Tigers, the Detriot Lions, and college football.
