Virginia Wood Ward passed away on Friday, July 10, 2020 at the age of 60.
Born on January 19, 1960 in West Chester, PA, Virginia attended Elon University and graduated with a degree in English Journalism. She married the love of her life, Garry, just before graduating. They began their life together in Rocky Mount and soon started a family.
Virginia was a passionate follower of Jesus, an active member of her church, and faithfully taught, led, and mentored women through Bible Study Fellowship for more than 30 years. She was a creative and talented quilter, and saw making quilts as a way to remind people that they were known and loved.
She is survived by her husband of nearly 39 years, Garry, as well as daughter Brittany Brown (Bo); daughter Lauren Boone (Jason); son Garry Ward Jr. (Kayla); daughter Cameron Ward; granddaughters Chandler Brown and Samantha Boone; grandson Jaxon Brown; and sister Laura Wood (Joe). She is preceded in death by her parents, Richard Bailey Wood and Betsey Jo Wood.
