Church Virginia had many hobbies to include sewing, cross stitch, painting, ceramics, baking, reading, shopping and gardening.She made pierogies with her granddaughters at Christmas time, playing card games with them, taught them to play UNO, and playing Rummy with her sons, which always ended with a “toast” and many laughs.
