Virginia was born February 11, 1920, in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, the daughter of Ernest and Cora (Sommerville) Moore. She graduated from Mt. Carroll High School in 1938, and was an illustrator for the Waukarusa Year Book. Virginia married Thomas W. Fritz on May 2, 1942. He preceded her in death on November 10, 2006.
Virginia helped with the family farm in Freedom Township. She also worked at the St. Francis Hospital in Freeport, Illinois, the Savanna Army Depot packing ammunition during World War II, and at the original Carroll County Health Department. Virginia was very involved in fund raising for the Mt. Carroll Swimming Pool and for the Hawk Boosters.
Virginia was an animal lover who took in many stray cats and dogs. She had a flock of sheep, often bottle feeding the lambs from birth. Virginia will be remembered mostly as a devoted mother to her four sons. She was always there to take them to a practice, wash a uniform, or help with homework.
Virginia will be dearly missed by her four sons, Jerry (Lynne) Fritz of Galesburg, Illinois, James "Jim" (Mickey) Fritz of Shannon, Illinois, Jack Fritz of Mt. Carroll, and Larry (Christy) Fritz of Mt. Carroll; eight grandchildren; thirteen great – grandchildren; and one brother, Ernest "Bud" (Jan) Moore of Elroy, Illinois.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and four sisters, Thelma, Helen, Irma, and Jeanette.
