Virginia Evelyn Flickinger, 60, died Jan. 20, 2010 after a courageous fight against lung cancer. She was the wife and best friend of Larry D. Flickinger for the last 16 years.

She always put others before herself, going above and beyond to give whatever was needed. She gave her heart to her family and friends.
