Virginia Lee Dunn was born September 23, 1924 on a dairy farm in Oklahoma City to Charles and Margaret Knox. She had a brother, Houston and sisters, Lillian and Helen. She was a twirler with the high school band. She met her husband, Edd, while working at Tinker AFB. Her job was repairing bullet holes in airplanes during WWII. They had twin sons, Mike and Randy Dunn. Fourteen years later, much to their surprise, they had a daughter, Jan Edwards.
Virginia attended banking teller school and worked as a teller for a few years. Later, she worked with her sister, Helen, making custom draperies for many years. Her claim to fame was having a street named after her, Virginia Drive. She won yard of the month in Bethany and was so proud of her accomplishment. She mowed into her 80s and grew many flowers over her lifetime.
She is survived by sons, Mike (Amy), Randy (Peggy); daughter, Jan (Tom); grandchildren, Amber, Blake, Ashley, Jennings, Whitney, Chance, and Tawney; great-grandchildren, Tyler, Tanner, Tinsley, Gavin, Braden, Cooper, Griffin, Ivy, Riggs, Jagger, Gunner, Murray and Walker. The past month Virginia was ready and praying to go to Heaven. She was ready to meet Jesus.
