I am participating in
the Blogging from A to Z Challenge (April 2016), where we write 26 blog posts
featuring each letter of the alphabet.
My dear Aunt Virginia passed away this past week so I
changed the focus on my V ancestor to honor Virginia.
 |
| My Dad's three sisters: June, Lorene, Virginia when living in Napa |
She was my father’s sister and one of four children born to
William Cyril Hork and Anna Marie Sullivan.
She was well-loved by all and a
sweetheart to everyone. She had such class as well as being very beautiful.
Before her marriage she worked as a stewardess for Western Airlines and was once a contestant for Miss Aviation. She met her future husband, John H. Gertridge while flying. They married 19 August 1950 at Carmel Mission and had four children.

| June, me, Virginia |
I will miss you, Aunt Virginia.

Sorry for your loss. (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. So wonderful that you took time to remember your aunt here. She seems like a family member with an interesting history that you could write much more about. The photos are lovely.

My Mom, Mary Patterson, brother Michael and I took a trip up north to visit a few years ago. We had a wonderful time at Virginia's, she was a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I sure wished I had known when you came. I would have come visit, too.
