Virginia was a devoted wife to Clifford Edward Reiman for over 61 years. She was a loving mother to Michael Reiman (Melinda Reiman), the late Sherri Reiman, and Nancy Vermaat (Timothy Vermaat).

Virginia loved her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Virginia spent her entire life focusing on her family and participating in as many events as she could. Virginia loved playing games with her grandchildren and celebrating all their personal, athletic, and academic achievements. She was always known for being the great encourager of the family, and was fierce when it came to defending her family.

Virginia was blessed to spend all her days with the love of her life, her husband Cliff. They were married for over 61 years. She took great pride in her entire family. Virginia would say in her nightly prayers " I love my husband and I love my family, all of them".
