Virginia Ann (Boustead) Harris

Dear family, I would give anything to be there with you today, and so glad my sisters could make it to be with you and represent the nieces. We all loved Virginia so, and my children remember swimming in the pool before we headed out to the mission field in Africa. My sisters and I seem to have modeled ourselves on my mother and her sisters, so you can see what a profound influence these aunties have been in our

Dear family, I would give anything to be there with you today, and so glad my sisters could make it to be with you and represent the nieces. We all loved Virginia so, and my children remember swimming in the pool before we headed out to the mission field in Africa. My sisters and I seem to have modeled ourselves on my mother and her sisters, so you can see what a profound influence these aunties have been in our lives. Virginia lives on every time I light a candle to grace a table as she always graced any gathering with her shining presence. So glad her graduation is being celebrated and she was surrounded when she flew away. I will imagine two sisters now being happily together freed from the cares of this world and Virginia once again greeting Grandma as she so faithfully did for so many years on a daily basis. God bless you Bousteads from the Olmsteds. Love and hugs Carol.

My sister, Marjory and I used to baby sit for Virginia when they lived on 33rd street in Des Moines. Marj and i visited about her today and recalled how nice she was and how we enjoyed being in her home, sometimes alone and sometimes as a team. She was a great mother but also a glamorous figure in the neighborhood. My dad seemed to always perk up when Virginia walked by and stopped to chat. She just had a

My sister, Marjory and I used to baby sit for Virginia when they lived on 33rd street in Des Moines. Marj and i visited about her today and recalled how nice she was and how we enjoyed being in her home, sometimes alone and sometimes as a team. She was a great mother but also a glamorous figure in the neighborhood. My dad seemed to always perk up when Virginia walked by and stopped to chat. She just had a lovely manner and personality and was so beautful. .

I remember being awed by her make up shelf and we both enjoyed the snacks that she always had ready for us.

Virginia was the first person our mother met at Heritage and she took mom under her wing. We are sure mom just wouldn't have made it without her. She always told us everything we needed to know to help mom out and made sure mother made to it wherever she needed to go each day. We will miss her so much, but you are right, she made a HUGE impact with us, our mom, and Heritage in general. She was a "GIFT" to our mother.

We will never forget the night that Virginia spent on the Ridge. She definitely was "ONE OF A KIND". Virginia may you rest in peace. Our condolences to all of the family.
