Virginia Morrisette, affectionately known as Mom, Grandma, Mamoo, and Sister, bid her final farewell on January 28, 2024. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at her home in Virginia Beach, VA. She was born on April 23, 1936, in Tazwell, VA.
From a tender age of three, Virginia’s journey took an unexpected turn when she was placed in an orphanage in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Virginia met the love of her life, her late husband Howard Morrisette Sr. when she was 27 years old. Their love story was one for the books, filled with laughter, adventures, and a bond that could never be broken. Although Howard has already departed from this world, their love continues to live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to witness it.
Virginia’s biggest passion in life was her children. She loved all of her babies until the very end. They were her everything, and her love for them knew no bounds.
Virginia is survived by her six children, twelve grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren.
As we say our final goodbyes to Virginia, let us remember her as a woman who loved deeply, laughed wholeheartedly, and lived life on her own terms.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 11 a.m. to noon at New Life Church, 3157 Shipps Corner Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. A funeral service will take place at noon with a burial to follow at Rosewood Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude or Shriner’s Charities.
