Virgie Carver October 4, 1943 - December 7, 2020

Virgie Carver

October 1943 – December 2020_x000D_
_x000D_
Virgie Carver was born in 1943 in Indiana and moved to California as a child. She helped raise her four younger sisters and younger brother. She married her husband, Thomas, when they were 17 and 16, and were blissfully married for 60 years. They had three children: two sons, James and Jerry, and one daughter, Tammy. They also had 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Virgie was very loved by her family, and was the adopted “Mom” and “Nana” to several others throughout her life.  Her home was always open to family and friends, and was a second home to many.

She worked in Delhi Unified School District for 27 years, and is a huge part of the memories of those who attended school there.  Those who knew her well always remember her as having a great love of Elvis Presley, a talent for sewing and cooking, someone always ready with a hug and a smile, and a great love for her family.

Virgie is survived by her husband Thomas Carver, children James Carver of Ocean Springs, MS, Jerry Carver of Delhi, CA, and Tammy Horn of Seminole, OK.  Also survived by her sisters Ira Howe, Gail Johnson, and Linda Carver.  She is preceded in death by her sisters Ruth Cash and Marcella Hooten.

She touched numerous lives and hearts throughout her life, and will be greatly missed.

    Virgil,
    I can never forget how you gave me your love and help when I moved in across the street where a wonderful life long friendship began and stayed strong for over 40 years. You made every child feel special and know they were loved. Thank you for always being there when someone needed you.

  4. Maggie Senay says

    I grew up across the street from Virgie on Jennifer Ct. and saw her daily during elementary school. I will always remember swimming in her pool on hot days and her smile. She was one of the most loving, kind and companionate people I knew. I remember she would always buy lemonade from us when no one else did on our small street. You will be greatly missed Virgie. Praying for your family at this time.

    I have fond memories of Virgie as a child growing up in Delhi. And as a teacher in Delhi, I had the joy of seeing her again, while teaching her grandchildren. She went to every awards assembly and Christmas Program. I enjoyed catching up with her and seeing the joy she felt for her family. Delhi will feel a little bit more empty without her big smile to fill it up.
    My deepest condolences,
    Corynne Andrade

    Virgie was a kind and caring person. I enjoyed working with her at the district. She never wanted a child to go hungry or cold or be sad. My sympathy and prayers to all the family.
