Virginia was born on March 7, 1927, the daughter of Carl and Dorothy (Womack) Pepperman, in Freeport, Illinois. Virginia met her future husband, Felix Dubey, while he was stationed in Rockford, Illinois. Virginia married Felix on March 8, 1947, in Freeport. Felix died on July 19, 2005 at his home in Thomson.
