Virginia M. Wood Obituary (1930 - 2016)

Virginia May Rigby Wood passed away peacefully on December 18, 2016, in Draper, Utah due to complications from a fall. She was born in Lynn, Massachusetts on December 3, 1930. The only daughter of Merrill Verdell Rigby and Jeanette Elizabeth May. She grew up in Murray, Utah and married her high-school sweetheart, John Wood, on February 14, 1951. Together they had four children. John passed away March 17, 2012 and she has been anxiously waiting to be reunited. Christmas was their favorite holiday and we are sure dad has prepared a beautiful tree. Mom was a beautiful lady that loved her family. She supported our dad through many years of playing and coaching all different sports. She loved being with her family wherever and whatever they were doing. Mom loved to bowl, golf and sew. She achieved a hole-in-one before anyone in her family and made sure to remind them of her accomplishment. The family would like to thank Inspiration Hospice & Home Health, especially Nicole and Niki for their loving support of both our family and especially of mom. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents; husband, John; son, Gregory; and brothers, Lynn Rigby, Paul Rigby, and Glen Rigby. She is survived by her children, Brady (Jacquie) Wood, Scott (Pam) Wood, Susie (Brad) Davis; and brother, Norman (Rae) Rigby. She was the proud grandma of 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
