Born August 22, 1938, in Woodward, Oklahoma, Virginia was the daughter of Charlie Martin Phillips and Alice Pauline Steadman Phillips. She grew up in Sharon, Oklahoma, graduated from Sharon High School, and earned a certificate in secretarial studies from Oklahoma City Business College.

On December 28, 1958, Virginia married Donald Lee Holland in Woodward, beginning a partnership spanning nearly 68 years. Their life together took them to Chickasha, Ponca City, and Henryetta, Oklahoma, then Palestine and Oak Point, Texas. She worked in banking and served more than 30 years as secretary to the superintendent of the Palestine Independent School District, earning respect and affection for her dedication, warmth, and exceptional work ethic.

Faith was the foundation of Virginia's life. She served through the Women's Missionary Union, Sunday School, and other church programs, living her faith through generosity, compassion, and concern for others. She enjoyed traveling, board and card games, and sports-especially basketball-but found her greatest happiness in family, faith, and friendships.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Alice Phillips, and her brother, Bob (RC) Phillips.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Donald Lee Holland; her son, Greg Holland, and his spouse, Tracy Brown; and her daughter, Kim Tittle, and her husband, Scott Tittle.

Above all, Virginia had a gift for making people feel seen, loved, valued, and respected. Always available to listen, encourage, or share a laugh, she offered quiet strength, steadfast faith, and thoughtful guidance. Her generous spirit and wonderful sense of humor leave an enduring legacy in the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever treasured
