Virginia Peters' Obituary
Virginia Peters passed away unexpectedly on January 2, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Raymond and Mary (nee Keogh); sister of Raymond (Colette); James (Linda); Susan Adamski (Walter), William (Nina) and the late Evelyn Davis (Charles;deceased). Virginia is also survived by several loving nephews, nieces and cousins.
Virginia (aka Ginger) earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Fordham University. She lived in Brooklyn NY for about 25 years working for maritime shipping lines. She accepted a transfer to Baltimore. After a few years, the shipping line left Baltimore, but Virginia remained in Baltimore and worked for an architectural firm for many years until she retired about ten years ago. Virginia comes from an Ohio family of small boat sailors. Although she did most of her sailing as a youth she always enjoyed being near water, especially at beaches and the ocean.
Virginia was fascinated by many things and was a lifelong learner. After retirement she loved taking classes at Renaissance Institute at Notre Dame of Maryland University in Baltimore. She was a genuinely loving and caring person. It was discovered just recently that Virginia kept gratitude journals. This may partially explain her amazing ability to keep up with and genuinely care about what was happening in the individual lives of all of her numerous friends and relatives. One couldn’t ask for a better friend than Virginia.
Friends may gather at St. Joseph Catholic Church on FRIDAY, January 10, 2025 from 9AM-10AM with a Mass of Christian Burial to begin at 10AM. Interment will immediately follow at Resurrection Cemetery in Valley City. In lieu of flowers please consider making donations in Virginia’s name to an organization of your choice that helps those less fortunate and/or do something nice for someone.
