Virginia is remembered as being the consummate mom and homemaker. She, along with her husband raised two sons, while being longtime owners and operators of Del’s Lemonade in Johnston. Her greatest joy and sense of accomplishment came from being a Grandma. Above all else, she loved to spend time with her five grandchildren and nieces and nephews, especially family vacations taken all together.
Virginia was the devoted mother of Gary Blair and Mark Blair and ‘Grandma’ to Austin, Aaron, Allison, Sydney and Haley. She was the sister of the late Kenneth Lamond and Dolores Lamond-Rolle and the former wife of Harold Blair.
