Virginia Sue Entriken was born in Billings, Okla., on Nov. 2, 1916, the daughter of Harry and Kate Herman. Her mother died in 1918, and she and her brother were raised by their father and beloved grandmother, Edith Tapp. The family moved to Enid when she was a teenager, and she graduated from Enid High School in 1934. She graduated from Enid Business College and worked for Eason Oil Co., located in the Bass Building. Her future husband, Fred Entriken, who also had an office in the Bass Building, offered her a ride home during a dust storm. They began their courtship and were married May 8, 1940.
Virginia was a loving wife, mother, and friend who always put others before herself. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church, past president of Chapter DO, PEO, and a member of the “Thursday Club” (which began as a sewing club in the late 1930s). This group of ladies took many fun trips together and until a few years ago had lunch together once a week. Virginia Sue loved reading, listening to music, playing bridge, cooking and writing poetry and short stories for family and friends. She loved this country and was very patriotic. She had a great sense of humor and never took herself too seriously.
Virginia Sue is survived by her children and their spouses: Susan and Robert Renz of Spokane, Wash.; Fred Dea and Nancy Entriken and Sallie and George Asplund of Enid, Okla.; one granddaughter, Laura Virginia Renz of Spokane, Wash.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred, in 1994, a brother, J.H. Herman in 1994, and a grandson, Thomas Lee Renz in 1965.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to First Presbyterian Church or Ross Hospice with Henninger-Allen acting as custodian of the funds.
