On August 1, 1970 Virginia married Reginald “Reggie” Potter at the United Brethren Church in Charlotte and together spent the next 50 years creating their legacy. Virginia was a member of the local VFW and volunteered her time with their dinners, she also volunteered and assisted her daughter with her AFC home. She loved planning their annual family reunion. Virginia loved baking, she is known for her famous apple pies and oatmeal cookies. She adored time spent with her family, camping trips with grandchildren, visiting her mother at Tubbs Lake. Her biggest enjoyment in life was her children, grandchildren, and her marriage of 50 years. Some would say that Virginia was a feisty sweetheart who would let someone give their two cents but then she would jump in and speak her mind in a good caring way. Above all Virginia will be remembered for her unwavering love and support that she showed to her family and friends.
