Virginia was born on October 10, 1923 to Arthur and Goldie (Alexander) Lashbrook in Colfax, Indiana. To this union were born four children: Frances Weir, Mary (Tony) Smith and Dan (Susie) Weir, all of Casey, Illinois; and Bonnie Harris of O'Fallon, Missouri. She has been blessed with seven grandchildren: Terenia (Bill) Davis of Oblong, IL; Marlen Smith of Casey; Toni Taylor of Casey; Laura (Matt) Morecraft of Charleston, IL; Dustin Weir of Sherman Oaks, CA; Lincoln Weir of Indianapolis, IN; and Aaron Harris of O'Fallon, MO, along with eleven great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
