Virginia was born June 29, 1959 in Little Rock, Arkansas to James and Emily (Chapman) Fulmer. She grew up alongside 3 sisters and 2 brothers. After high school, Virginia explored several different career paths before furthering her education and finding her true calling as a CNA, which she absolutely loved.
On July 30, 1977, she married Steven Brown in Van Buren, Missouri. They enjoyed 42 years together, raising 5 children. While raising their family, Virginia and Steven lived in Missouri, Longton, Kansas, Las Vegas, Nevada, and eventually made their home in Fredonia. They enjoyed camping, and traveling. One of Virginia’s favorite trips was to travel to Estes Park, Co and stay in the Stanley Hotel.
Virginia was a Sunday school teacher at the Faith Baptist Church in Fredonia, and would spoil those in her class. It showed who she really was, as she loved helping people. She was a special mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who would do anything for her family.
