She attended Russelville High School and graduated. In her teenage and young adult years she held several jobs cleaning and being a nanny for Cincinnati families. She married the late James W. Baker and moved to Cincinnati taking pleasure in being a wife and mother to 4 daughters born of this union. Through the encouragement of various friends she joined the workforce and embarked on a career with the City of Cincinnati first working at Rockdale Elementary School in the Social Skills Development Program, where she worked with and nurtured various children with social and behavioral issues. Once the program became defunct she took her skills to Northside Health Clinic and then on to the Burnet Health Dept as a Data Entry Clerk/Cashier and later retiring from the City as a Dental Clerk. Virginia never met a stranger and was known for discovering people's life's stories after a simple chance encounter. She was a nurturer and was generous with her love and caring ways. She loved children and besides having 4 daughters of her own she also fostered and always had an open door for the many nieces, nephews and cousins that were in the family. She filled everyone's hearts with love and stomachs with the delicious meals she prepared for any and everyone who asked. She was a mother figure to many people young and old and quick to offer words of encouragement to anyone needing it. She was extremely supportive to new dialysis patients and often spoke to them and helped ease their fears and concerns. She was a country girl at heart and loved square dancing, fishing and country music. When she was no longer able to square dance she traded her cowboy hats for a slot machine handle, socializing more than she gambled. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren and would tell stories of them everywhere she went. She fought the good fight and left a lifetime of love as her everlasting legacy. She was preceded in death by her parents BC and Rosalein Redd, Sisters Louise Redd and Alice Tarver and daughter Lora Baker. She leaves to cherish her memory Brothers William and James Redd, Sisters Rosemary Jackson, Wanda Reese (Curtis Sr.) and MaryLou Childs.
