Virginia L. Elliott, age 71 of Washington, passed away unexpectedly Monday, September 7, 2020. Virginia Lou Rhodes was born January 11, 1949 in Altus, Oklahoma, the baby of nine children born to Walter and Calla Mae Rhodes. Growing up the daughter of a traveling preacher, meant that Virginia moved a bit in her early years. The family lived mostly in Oklahoma and Kansas. By the time Virginia was in high school, they had settled in Washington, Oklahoma, where she graduated with the Warrior Class of 1967. It was here she met her true love and life partner, Tommy Elliott. On December 6, 1969, Virginia and Tommy were married in Washington and have called it home since. Together they raised two sons, Casey and Roger. When the boys were young, Virginia worked in the home, caring and providing for their every need. She later returned to school and earned her Associates in Applied Science from O.C.C.C. For nearly twenty years, Virginia worked as a Registered Nurse; first for O.M.H. and later at J.D. McCarty Center. When she wasn’t working, Virginia was probably chasing her grand kids at one of their school activities or little league games. She loved quilting projects with her sisters and shared her talents with family and friends. Virginia was an excellent cook, and will be forever remembered for her cornbread dressing and chicken and dumplings; both family recipes passed down from her mother. She was a wonderful wife and mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She will be dearly missed!
