Shortly, after arriving in America, Virginia was married and had a son Patrick and daughter Theresa She moved with her husband and young family to San Diego, California where for many years she was the proud owner of a successful beauty salon in Chula Vista, California. In 1984, with her children in college, Virginia moved to Hawaii where in 1986 where she met her current husband of 38 years, David Hulse.

Virginia loved traveling throughout the United States in Europe with Dave having visited all 50 states and three trips to Europe, and one trip to the holy land in Israel and the pyramids of Egypt. Her favorite thing to collect were rocks from each of the many places she visited. Dave would often find rocks stashed away in the suitcase when they got home.

Her blessings in life exploded when she became a grandmother to Annalisa, Lauren, and Michael. Then life once again blessed her as a great grandmother with Annalisa's daughters, Ava and Olivia.

Her family will remember Virginia for her great love for God which she shared with us at every opportunity. And we will miss her greatly... so blessed were we to have had such a faithful believer cheer us on in life. Well done good and faithful servant.
