Virginia Rose Schell

On Jan. 8, 2009, one of God's children finally went home. Born on Christmas Day 1918 in Oneida, Kan., the world was blessed with Virginia. In 1936, Virginia met the love of her life, Frank. They eloped a year later and eventually settled in Chadron, Neb., where they resided for 19 years. It was then that Frank and Virginia came to Twin Falls, where they lived out the rest of their lives. Virginia was many things, a housewife, a mother, a grandmother, an Avon lady, hairdresser and friend; but nothing made her as proud as being Frank's wife. They were married 62 years and in love with each other every day they were together. She could not wait to be with him again. Virginia loved her family, friends and her faith. The family she joined at Eternal Life Christian Center was one she truly cherished and enjoyed. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; her son, Jon; and her son-in-law, Rex. She is survived by her daughter, Colleen VanWormer; grandson, Kirk (Joe) VanWormer; granddaughter, Kristen (Rich) Garrett; granddaughter, Rondi Schell-Nutting; granddaughter, Nikki (John) Mee; grandson, Jonny (Andrea) Schell; and 10 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many friends who loved her and will greatly miss her smile, sharp wit, great sense of humor and her unconditional love.? A celebration of Virginia's life will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13, at Eternal Life Christian Center in Twin Falls, with Pastor Johnny Hanchey officiating. Burial will follow at the Twin Falls Cemetery. A viewing will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12, at Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home in Twin Falls. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made in Virginia's honor to Friends of Hospice, Idaho Home Health and Hospice in Twin Falls.
