Heaven received a very special angel. Virginia I. Kent, 82, passed away on Wednesday, September, 26, 2018, surrounded by her family, after a lengthy but vigilant battle with cancer.

Virginia graduated from Berlin Heights High School and was a member of the Milan Friends Church in Milan, Ohio. Virginia was blessed with a talent for baking; especially pies as she was known for being the "Pie Lady". She loved to share her delicious pies and cookies with family and at fundraisers or events which were enjoyed by all.

She also enjoyed gardening, jigsaw puzzles, flowers, bike riding, walking, and bird watching in her backyard.

Her real joy came from spending time with family and playing with her dog, Pebbles and cat, Toby.

She was a loving person with a servants heart who always helped and cared for others by putting their needs in front of her own.

Virginia is survived by her children, Linda (Paul) Weilnau, of Viroqua, Wisconsin, Laura (Chris) Shample of Norwalk, Ohio, and Reuben (Jennifer) Kent, of Norwalk, Ohio, by her grandchildren who were the love of her life, whom she referred to as her "Sweetie Pies", Brenda, Melissa, Lexi, and Josie.
