Commonly known as Virginia ----
An AMAZINGLY AWESOME BEAUTIFUL Woman!! Mama was Always Praying and loved to Read her Bible and share the word with Anyone and especially her family. She was a very Strong Prayer Warrior. Beloved Mother of 10 children total with the spouses numbering 18 (Steve and Tina, Joann and Roger, Michael, Teresa and Jimmy, Joseph and Sue, Patricia and Steve, Timothy, Robert and Tamara, Mary and Eric, Helene and Jay) Grandmother of 37 and Great Grandmother of 41 , and Great- Great Grandmother of 3. She was so Proud of all of her family; she loved each one the same. What a legacy her and our father (Roy) left. Our Dad passed away 7/07/2007.
Mama was our Rock along with our spouses and most importantly Jesus!!!
Mom was given Eternal Life on September 4,2020. Born December 25,1932 in Roswell, South Dakota. She was from a family of 4 children she had 3 brothers ( Bill, Dick, Clem Dold). Mom was the oldest. She attended St. Joseph Presentation Academy in California 1st-12th Grade she graduated in 1951. She had 51 in her graduating class.
She taught Piano ; she was such a Beautiful Piano Player herself. She knew how to tickle those keys.
Mom met Dad while working at Sherman Williams Paint Factory in Emeryville California. She worked in the office and whenever she walked out into the warehouse dad would whistle at her. They dated from the end of 1953 till April 25th 1954 when they were married. Our dad had the same birthday as her dad 3/8.
Mom touched so many lives as does she continue to , a giver of herself. We all miss her smiling face and glittering eyes and her funny little facial expressions also her phone calls with her Beautiful voice that we long to hear again. But we will look heavenward to not only see, but to know that she is at Peace and still Smiling Free from Pain.
Mom lives on in each one of our hearts, and in all of those she touched.
She is Rejoicing!!!!! She Made it!!!!! She Fought the Fight, She finished the race and strongly kept the faith till the very end.
Rejoicing with her husband again, all her brothers, her sons- Steven, Michael and Timothy, Grandson Emmanuel, Her Mom and Dad, Most importantly Jesus whom she Loved so Much. One of Mom's Favorite says: GOD IS IN CHARGE!!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!

This is why its taken me so long to write this!!! Mommy you were an AMAZING woman of God, an extraordinary mommy to all your kids!!! An exceptional Grandma and Great Grandma to all your grand kids!!! You have taught me so much, how to be a prayer warrior to pray in tongues, how to be kind, how to love, how to be an example of Christ, and how to keep going to stay strong!!!

We Love you always and forevermore. Until we meet again Mama glad you are free from pain. Love You Roger and Joann Hugs
Love you so much grandma. The most valuable and priceless thing my grandma taught us was the love of Jesus. That is worth more than money to me. The gift of a big family. We had the best celebrations growing up. So much love and crazy times but she loved us all. She loved everyone she met. Her smile could light up any room. Such a special and selfless lady. We even got to live with her. She was more than a grandmother, she was a second mom to me. We didn't always get along and her favorite saying when I would laugh at her spankens... was, "Wait until your grandpa gets home!!" I'm gonna miss her random calls. Never be to busy for the ones who love you! You never know will be the last time they are able to call. So blessed to have the best grandma and to be called little Virginia because we also have a lot of kids :) Love you always grandma!!!!! Until we meet again. Rest in Heaven!!!
Mom, I so looked up to you as my Mom. And I am who I am because of you, a strong woman in christ & in prayer. And I also am a giver of myself, I believe I got that from you. Mom you will live on in my heart always. And now I have another Angel to look after me. I miss you! But just knowing, that we'll see each other again someday gives me some peace. Love you Mom from your daughter Teresa
Grandma was the most loving and caring soul I have ever known. She was a God fearing woman who turned lots of people to Christ. I remember her sandwiches she would make with the oat cakes and peanut butter with turkey and lettuce(something I remember being a little kid when she would watch me). I always thought they were the best! I miss her hugs and kisses but most of all I miss her and the light she brought into every room she entered! I am so glad she is not in pain anymore and can dance in the hills with my grandpa, uncles and cousin. And be with God himself. I love you Grandma, soooo much!
