Virginia leaves a vacant place in our hearts; we know she truly earned her special place in heaven. She will always be remembered as a loyal woman of faith, love and respect for everyone who touched her life.
Virginia had the ability to light up a room and quickly bring a smile to faces with her keen sense of humor. The best of Virginia will live on in each of us. She will be well-remembered for the countless number of teacakes and her famous potato salad she made.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 13, 2014, in the chapel of Rouse Funeral Home in LaGrange, with the Rev. Bert Potter officiating. Interment will follow at Fairview Cemetery in LaGrange.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Vance Cunningham; brothers, John Lynch Jr., Jesse Wayne Lynch and Carroll Lynch; and sisters, Hazel Parker and Dorothy Hussey.
The family will receive friends Sunday from 2 to 3 p.m. at Rouse Funeral Home.
Virginia's family would like to give a special thanks to Sherry Griffin and all of the workers at Magnolia Cottage Care for the love and compassion that was shown to her and the family during her time of sickness.
