Virginia loved children so much she made a career of working with them.

The church grew over the years and was passed to Pastor Michael Fisher who saw a bigger vision and changed the church name to Greater Zion Family Church. Virginia continued to serve under his leadership where she was a member of the G.L.O.W. ministry and she was on the Mother’s Board until she decided to move to Texas to be with her daughter and some of her grand and great grandchildren.
