She is survived by her children, Neil L. Heffelfinger, Jr. of Harrisburg, Terry L. Heffelfinger and husband Daniel J. Furci of Hummelstown and Amy L. Heffelfinger of Mechanicsburg; three grandchildren, Ericka Heffelfinger, Maria Furci and Derek Furci; and her former husband, Neil L. Heffelfinger Sr., of Hummelstown. She also had 15 nieces and 8 nephews. She was close to her nieces Helen Halterman of Ridgecrest, NC, and Kay Draper of Norman, OK, through her letter writing.

Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family with burial in Dillsburg Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions in Virginia’s memory to Paxton Ministries, Inc., 2001 Paxton St., Harrisburg, PA 17111-1093.
