Mrs. Virginia Ann Bradshaw was born on August 13, 1947 in McDuffie County, Georgia. She departed this life on September 25, 2021 at the Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Fort Gordon, GA. Virginia was born to two loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Grier, Sr. Her parents maintained a loving and Christian home filled with joy and laughter. It is during her childhood that Virginia honed her skills as both an expert baker and cook. In 1969, Virginia met the man who would be the love of her life at the Thomson Company. That meeting blossomed into fifty-two years of love. On July 10, 1971, Virginia and Larry were married. Their union would last for the next fifty years with her beloved husband Larry, who affectionately calls her “Squilly.” From that union, two daughters were born, Taneka and Tawani. For over twenty years, Virginia was a faithful member of New Life in Christ Holy House of Prayer where she served the Lord with perfection in her heart. Away from her church home, Virginia was a proud cook, baker, and self-taught seamstress. Her delicious key-lime pies and cakes had a reputation across the state that no one could turn down. In 2017, she was diagnosed with cancer and she fought to the very end. Virginia had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. She touched and inspired the lives of many who knew her and knew of her through others. Virginia had a giving nature and was always looking out for others. Virginia was preceded in death by her dear parents, Rufus Grier Sr. and Mary L. Grier, and two sisters, Barbara A. Grier and Joy Grier.
