met her future husband Roy Bradley in Tuscaloosa in the
late forties, where both were pursuing their educations.
They were married in 1950, and their marriage lasted for
64 years until his passing in 2014. Virginia and Roy had
a very close relationship, and she struggled mightily
after his death, only regaining some semblance of her
normal life after several years of mourning. They were
loving and caring parents who imparted many life lessons
for their sons, by actions more than words. She had high
expectations and ensured her sons followed her path of
higher education and professional careers.</span></div>

anyone who knew her can attest, she was a presence. She
was loving, ambitious, driven, and had high expectations
of others. Throughout her long life, she left her mark
on college students, friends, family and anyone with
whom she became acquainted. She was an inspiration to
countless people, and her existence left the world a
better place. She lived her life in full. Her religious
faith was a strong and guiding principle and a comfort
to her during difficult times. She cared for others more
than herself. She knew the importance of expressing her
love of her family and friends, praying for them every
night. She continued to do so until the very end.</span></div>
