Leave a tribute for Virginia Justus Whisnant.
My heart is broken - every holiday she would meet me at the mailbox with a bag full of goodies. She was always thinking of others more than herself. I’m going to miss her smile and love that she showed not only me but everyone she came into contact with. Earth’s loss is truly Heaven’s gain. Loved her with all my heart!
Jennifer & Family, My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Virginia was loved and adored by all of us. I have so many cherished memories of her and I hope all your happy memories will comfort you in the days ahead. Love & Prayers, Melina
Sweet lady. I worked with her and sister at Harris Teeter. Your family are in my prayers
All my love, Check on Amber for me.
Virginia was a very precious lady. I never could remember her name when I first met her she just told me to call her mom. I've been calling her that ever since. To the family I want to express my heart felt condolences.
You will be missed so very much!
I will miss being around such a happy spirit.
I’m so sorry to hear of Virginia’s passing. We went to school together at Drexel. She was a sweet soul. My prayers are with her family and friends
