Her mother, Rose was a seamstress for years. Virginia's mother remarried to, PFC Ralph M Ritter and resided for years and were buried together in
Monterey(Fort Ord) area. Rose lived a very long life and in later years when she developed cancer, she temporarily came to live with her daughter, Virginia in Merced on 21st Street. I happened to come visit when she was their. Rose came out, she looked around the beautiful old door at me, our eyes met and not realizing she was my great grandma at that moment, she turned and disappeared to her room. It was the only time I ever met my Great Grandma, Rose.
