and joyfully into Eternity by her Lord, Jesus Christ. Virginia was born

husband, Ralph, the love of her life, at Huntington High School. She worked
for the Mylar’s License Service for many years, but the joy of her life was
her Church, the Madison Avenue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and
the folks she knew there. She served in many ways, teacher of the Loyal
Women’s Class, leader of the youth work, Deaconess and in various capacities
in the Christian Women’s Fellowship. She was greatly appreciative of the
many opportunities her Church provided her. She always had a kind word to
say about everyone. She was active in the Church Women United group in
Huntington. Virginia greatly enjoyed celebrating her 100th birthday in March
of 2012 with her large family and friends. It was a very special day and all
enjoyed the celebration and telling her how special she had been to her
family and friends. She was a resident at Madison Park and passed away at
the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House of Huntington. The family was greatly
appreciative of the loving care she received by the staff at these places.

Mylar; sons Ralph Edward Mylar and Charles Irwin Mylar; brothers James
Morgan Hite, Richard Hite, Russell Hite; twin sisters Ruby Evans and Ruth
