Virginia grew up in Madison, graduated from Madison Business College in 1941, and took a job with the Navy Department in Washington, DC. She attended National City Christian Church and had the great honor of introducing Eleanor Roosevelt in that historical DC church.
It was on a church bus trip along Skyline Drive in Virginia that she met George Williams. Virginia and George were married July 7, 1946. Three months later they moved to Tonkawa, OK, to help with the family business. In 1949, they moved to Ponca City, OK, after George joined Continental Oil Co. Work transferred them to Houston in 1970. Virginia worked in each location, often as an administrative assistant. Virginia and George retired to Hot Springs Village in 1982.
