Fannie Virginia Idlett was born April 14, 1941 in Lexington, the 8th of 15 children born to W.T. “Bill” Idlett and Lela Elizabeth (Farrow) Idlett. She was raised in Lexington area, and learned at an early age, the value of hard work and responsibility. She married her best friend and life partner, Charles Henry Andrews, and together they raised 3 sons, Larry, Chuck and Bruce. They first made their home in Lexington before settling back in Washington. Virginia worked some odd and end jobs throughout the years, but her greatest joy was being a wife and mother. She worked tirelessly as a homemaker, caring and providing for Henry and her boys. Virginia was a master gamer. She especially liked crossword puzzles and playing bingo. She was a gifted singer, and looked forward to large family get togethers just playing and singing. Virginia was a woman of great faith, and a longtime member of the Goldsby Baptist Church.
