After graduating from Shawano High School in 1953, Virginia worked with her parents at Pine Acres Motel in Shawano and Zoglman’s Meat Market, Gresham.

Meyer in Clintonville; the couple later was united in marriage on July 25, 1959, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Shawano. She then worked at the Clintonville Canning Factory and, later, Wanta’s Floral, Clintonville. Virginia fully retired around 2010 but continued doing things she loved, including crocheting afghans, puzzles and computer games. She liked to try her luck at the casino and took regular vacations to Las Vegas with family. Virginia had the opportunity to visit all lower 48 states during her lifetime.
