Oldest of 7 children and an inspiration to all who knew her. Edelee Chesterfield, Ginger O'Shea and Kathy Williams all were blessed to call her "Ma". Virginia came to Ukiah to
      raise her family in 1952.Virginia was a gifted woman with an incredibly caring nature. Her strength, not only physical in the building of her home and beautiful garden, was in her character. Virginia loved her family with all her heart. She enjoyed gardening, quilting, embroidery, crocheting, and camping at the beach. Virginia Hannah's heart was truly larger than life; always looking for ways to give, help, and love. A true testimony to an unselfish spirit, our beautiful and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
      "Baa!" Grandma
      Survived by her children Edelee Chesterfield,
      Ginger O'Shea, and Kathy Williams. Grandchildren Joyce Kelly and husband Kevin, Debbie Chambers, Tina Heady, Brenda Stacy and husband Dave, Barbara Babcock and husband Mike, and Joshua Heady. Her great grand-Children Tracy Ellison, Jacob Wilson, Christina Simmons, Derek Stacy, Drake Stacy, Dalton Stacy, Kelsey Drake, Hailey Drake, Charlie Schwarm, Kenny Trumble.

      "and hand in hand on the edge of the sand
      they danced by the light of the moon"
