Virginia Jane Holzner, 64, of Lacey Spring, Va., passed graciously from this life Friday, April 10, 2009, at her home surrounded by family.

The daughter of the late Alexander Burns and Nina R. Cole, many friends knew her as "Ginny" or "Chick".  Ginny was born in New York City,

N.Y., on Jan. 26, 1945, and graduated from McLean High School in 1963.  Ginny worked at the Department of Interior in Washington, D.C., prior to moving to the Shenandoah Valley and taking on her lifelong ambition of raising a family.

On Feb. 5, 1966, she married Charles F. "Chuck" Holzner, who survives. 

Also surviving are one daughter, Terri H. Wuenschel and husband, Greg, of Bluemont, Va.; two sons, Carl B. Holzner and wife, Melissa, of Weyers Cave, Va., and Kirk J. Holzner and wife, Kimberly, of Lacey Spring, Va., as well as four grandchildren, Paige, Morgan, Alex and Cole.

One sister, Nina M. Fitch of Lacey Spring, also survives.

Ginny worked as a Sales Demonstrator at Costco for 14 years.  She was a member of the Woodland Hills Extension Homemaker Association.  Ginny and her husband were active members of the Plains Promenaders Square Dance Club of Timberville for 16 years.  Ginny made friends wherever she went and hoped that her friends would remember the good times that they shared.

Visitation will be on Monday from 6-8 p.m. at Kyger Funeral Home in Harrisonburg. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Mount Tabor United Methodist Church on Route 11 in Lacey Spring with Pastors Mark Landis and Carl Stewart officiating.  Burial will be at the Lacey Spring Cemetery.

The family plans to establish a memorial garden in Ginny's honor at the family farmhaus in Lacey Spring, and live plant contributions would be welcomed.

Online condolences may be sent to the Holzner family at www.kygers.com.

The Holzner family wishes to express our heartfelt gratitude for the many kindnesses extended to the family during our recent loss. Your sentiments, cards, meals, flowers, plants, and donations for the memorial garden have been a source of comfort in this difficult time, and we know that Ginny would have been touched and honored by this outpouring of love.

The family of the late Virginia J. Holzner

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We certainly admire the great care you gave Chick and I know each of you were a blessing to her. She was always so proud of her family and I hope it will be a comfort to each of you knowing you did everything you possibly could with her and for her. She was a lovely person and will be missed by so many. Continue to share the family legacy with her grandchildren so they will know about their lovely grandmother. Our thoughts go with each of you.

We will always remember your mom as a kind and witty woman . . . a woman full of strength, and deeply filled by the love she both gave and the love she received. May memories of Ginny always be present in your hearts, and may the love of friends and family sustain you in the days ahead. The Churchill family 2009-04-13 11:57:45

Kirk, Here is a poem that Kay and I recieved just recently. Your Loved One lives In Your Heart Many tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought... For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints in colors true The happy hours that belonged to you. ~ Helen Steiner Rice Kay and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Randy Randy & Kay Zadow 2009-04-13 13:35:35

I have wonderful childhhood memories of Virginia. We spent many hours playing cards together in her backyard in the summers; spent many Fourth\'s of July in neighborhood parades; trick-or-treated together on halloween; and many other fun neighborhood activities. She was always lots of fun and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for her. So sorry for all the heartache the family has been through. You will all be in my prayers. Donna (Huddle) Duckworth 2009-04-13 17:39:31

Terri & Family, May the comforting thought from the book of Revelation, 21:4 be of comfort to you. It reads: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Offering my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Reva Ware 2009-04-14 03:07:26
