Virginia Duncan, lovingly known by Ginny or Gina, was a beacon of light born on October 6, 1948 in Oakland, California. She was a woman of many talents and interests; a creative soul who navigated the world with humility, intelligence and love. Virginia's life, however, was not defined by her birth or death, but rather by the vibrant and varied days she spent in between. As Albert Einstein once said, "The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library."

Ginny had a similar philosophy about life: it wasn't about finding a destination, but rather about savoring the journey. Ginny's life was a tapestry of countless threads intricately woven together to create a vibrant and beautiful masterpiece. Her love for crafting was a thread that ran throughout her entire life. A humble artist, Ginny found joy in the simplest forms of creativity; she was a master of sewing, embroidery, weaving, and sock making. Ginny was not just smart, she was a clever innovator, always eager to try out a new crafting gadget or kitchen device. Her culinary adventures, much like her road trips, were explorations of the unknown and unexpected. In her lifetime, she traveled abroad many times, but her favorite journey was always the spontaneous "let's see where this goes" road trip. Venturing into the back roads and small towns of the U.S., she discovered the beauty in the road less traveled.

Above all else, Virginia was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother. Her daughter Amanda and her grandchildren Jacob, Braelyn, and Nathan were her world. She loved them fiercely and unconditionally, always placing their happiness and well-being above her own. Virginia also leaves behind her brothers Matt and Greg Reppas, and her sister Michaele Reppas, who will remember her as the glue that held their family together. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Dorothy Reppas.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Virginia Duncan made us feel loved, cherished, and important. Her legacy is one of love, creativity, and humble brilliance. We invite you to share your memories and photos of Virginia on her memorial page, to celebrate the incredible woman that she was and the indelible impact she has left on our hearts.
