So sorry to hear about Virginia. Really sweet lady. As part of Ginger’s Gypsies we enjoyed many trips with Ginger including our wonderful trip to Ireland. Ginger always made sure you were having a good time and you learned something on each trip.
She will be greatly missed.
Bethel Gardens will truly feel the loss of this incredible woman. It was a joy to know her. I will never forget talking to her about her adventures and how much I learned from her passion for life.
On behalf of myself and the entire Bethel Gardens family, thank you for giving us the honor to love and care for Mrs. Virginia.

I worked with Virginia for years. She sent me an inspirational book of poems when my mom passed away in 1979. i still treasure that book . Love that lady.

I just got an email fm Brenda Camp about Virginia passing and ill just say it in the beginning Virginia was an amazing woman. I first me her at Western Union in Atlanta, worked with her for a total of 11 years first at the Western Union infocom center and later in the Des computer center. I was in my early twenties and later she often reminded me that "she help raise me" at Western Union. I wasnt the only one she help raise. The other ones know who they are. I am not sure if there is a Western Union hall of fame but she should also go in on the first ballot. Later I went on one of her trips with Jim to Russia. It was no small trip, 21 days to five cities, Moscow, Irkutsk, Tashkent, Samarkand, and Saint Petersburg, including 3 days on the Tran s Siberian railroad! I remember sitting next to Virginia in Samarkand watching a group of Uzbek folk dancers and singers. One of the solo singers kept cracking Virginia up. I think he reminded Virginia of someone in her church choir back home.. I remember Jack Queen remarking after reading Jim Dearings obituary he reminded him of the character in those old tv commercials "the most interesting man in the world" now that Jim and Virginia are reunited they are the "the most interesting married couple in heaven" Virginia is back at full throttle now.

Mrs. Virginia was my Sunday school teacher at Orange Hill Baptist church from the time I was very little. She was one of the sweetest most kind ladies I’ve ever met. She was one of my Grandmother Betty’s life long friends. We have so many good memories and will miss that wonderful smile! Thank you for everything Mrs. Dearing!
Viriginia was a kind lady offering to let me know how my husband Billy was doing when she visited her husband Jim at Bethel Gardens. When she became ill I was so sad. Great lady. Prayers of comfort for her family and friends.
My heart hurts and my eyes are wet. I am at a loss. I knew this day was going to come and I can still hear Virginia say "Michaelllll" and she always had fun sayings for everything, a way to light up a room. There is nothing I can say or do to reflect the impact she had on my life.
Virginia, I love you so much and I know you know and I know you loved me so much. Now you are with Jim and you are both happy and that makes me happy.
Jimbo and Vallory, I am so sorry this time is here now. Your mother was the most amazing person I ever met, could keep Jim and I in line if it was for Jim's third breakfast of the day or errands such as delivering food to people in need... and always could get a group to follow her to the ends of the earth.
I am truly alive in this moment with the sadness I feel...and Virginias memories will be alive with me in all my actions until the day I get to say hello again.
