Virginia was most generous with sharing her time and talents with the larger community. She was a prolific writer, artist, idealist, wife, mother and proud grandmother. Her creative endeavors included paintings, plays, programs, skits, and letters to the editor. She was active in the life of the LaMoure Presbyterian Church as an ordained Elder, Presbyterian Women, Bible Study and Circle. Over the years, she was active in P.E.O., Eastern Star, Homemakers Club, and Fortnightly. Other endeavors included serving as a Cub Scout leader and leading painting classes.
For many years, Joe and Virginia loved to entertain friends and family in their home in LaMoure, ND and at the lake homes in Minnesota.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur Alphias Mosher and Bertha Marie Johnson; her six brothers and sisters, Alfred, Ralph, Gertrude, Burdette, Ruth, and Arberta; and her husband of 55 years, Julian Simon “Joe” Homan.
