Together, they owned and operated their accounting businesses in Wichita, Topeka and Lawrence, Kansas until they retired in 2014. Many of their decades-long clients were very dear friends.
Virginia relished her ancestorial roots. She exuded the properness and resoluteness of her English father while coming to grips with the many adversities she faced in life. From her Swedish mother, she embraced and endearing kindness, love for God and the enjoyment of a good cinnamon roll.
