Virginia Merle Stubblefield, of Lebanon, Ohio, passed away at home with her family by her side.
Virginia was born in Cadiz, Kentucky, to Roscoe and Thelma Calhoun. She was known for her deep love of family, dedication to her church, and her strong faith. She lived that faith daily through kindness, compassion, and service. She touched many lives as a Sunday School Teacher, Sunday School Director and a member/chairwoman of multiple Hospitality Committees.
She married James Warren Stubblefield on July 12, 1958, and together they built a life shaped by Warren’s military service. Their journey took them to Little Rock, Arkansas; Homestead, Florida; Dayton, Ohio; Clark Air Base in the Philippines; Tucson, Arizona; and eventually back to Cadiz, Kentucky. In later years, Virginia also lived in Fort Worth, Texas, before returning to Ohio, where she was happy to be near family and friends.
Virginia and Warren enjoyed church work and travel, visiting 49 states. Along the way, Virginia built lasting friendships everywhere she lived. She was known for remembering birthdays, sending cards, making phone calls, sending texts and always offering help when someone was in need.
Virginia’s life was grounded in love for family and friends, and faith in her Lord & Saviour. In her final days, she spoke peacefully about going to be with her Heavenly Father.
Virginia is survived by Son and Daughter-In-Law Phillip & Karen Stubblefield; Daughter and Son-In-Law, Phyllis (Stubblefield) & Kelvin Nichols; Granddaughter, Amanda Stubblefield; and Sisters, Stella Jones, Margaret Thomas, and Wanda DeName.
