Virginia Woodruff took her Lord and Savior by the hand in the early hours of Monday, April 7, 2014. She was born September 13, 1923 on a farm along the shores of Lake Lowell. She attended the Lone Star School and graduated from Nampa High School in 1942. Virginia accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age, which greatly influenced her entire life.
Shortly after graduation from high school she married Joyce E. Woodruff on June 8, 1942. They lived a short time in Nampa while Joyce (Woody) worked for the railroad. A daughter, Beverly was born into this union. Joyce and Virginia moved to Mountain Home when they were needed to work the Woodruff Homestead. There she was thrust into becoming a farmer’s wife and cooking for a houseful of farm workers during hay season. After three years they sold the farm due to health issues and moved back to Nampa where they spent the rest of their lives.
Virginia worked for Kings Packing Co., Crookham Co., and spent many years working for Birdseye during the spinach and lima bean harvests.
