February 18, 1925 ~ August 3, 2017

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Virginia DeVries at the age of 92, in Kamloops, BC.
Virginia was the oldest of five siblings and was born in Nanaimo, BC. After completing school she became a telephone operator and worked as a receptionist. She met Gordon and they married in Penticton in 1953. They moved to Beaverdell, then to Burnaby, and finally to Kamloops in 1962 where Virginia lived until her passing.
Virginia will be remembered as a resilient, strong, witty, and fun-loving woman who touched the hearts of many with her timeless soul and charming character. Everyone who knew her loved her for her kind and giving nature and for her incredible sense of humour.
Virginia was predeceased by her husband Gordon in 1992, her three sister, Nora, Lee, and Jackie, and her brother Jim. She is survived by her children Debra (John) of Olds, Alberta, Gerald of Vancouver, Doreen (Warren), and Peggy all of Kamloops, her grandchildren Kelsey (Tyler), Kimberly (Chad), Clayton (Kaylin), Olivia, and Andrea, and her great grandchildren Kolton and Malaya.
Special thanks to the caring staff at Kamloops Seniors Village. The family is very grateful for the loving care she received during her time there. There will be an Open House to Celebrate the life of Virginia on Saturday, August 19th from 1-4 pm, at the home of her daughter Doreen Cook, 235 Greenstone Drive, Kamloops.
