Virginia was born on February 2, 1930, in Fayetteville, Arkansas to parents Hugh and Goldie May Garriott. She was married to the love of her life, George “Bud” Easley, for 65 wonderful years. Virginia worked in food processing for 40 years and some hobbies she enjoyed included gardening and weather patterns.

Virginia’s faith was very important to her, and she loved spending time reading her Bible. She was most proud of being a Child of God and followed the Word of the Bible and God in her daily life. She was a devoted wife to George and was very proud to be “George’s wife.” Virginia was a loving wife, sister, and aunt who will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George Easley; and her brothers, Junior Garriott (Ceres), Clarence Garriott (Buena Park), and Larry Garriott (Ceres).
