Virgie Jane Booska

Vergennes, Vermont  Virgie passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at UVM Medical Center surrounded by her loving family.

Virgie moved to Vergennes in 1970 with her now late husband Earl and their children. She quickly became rooted in the community working at BF Goodrich, then at Wake Robin. She is survived by her two brothers and five children: Ora J (Sue) of Bristol, Sam of Bristol, Earl (Darlene) of Bristol, Penny (Jim) Schill of Toledo, Ohio, Carl of Vergennes, and Ed (Tina) of Vergennes and adopted daughter Susan (Bruce) Russell-Anderson of St. Albans. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

Everyone knew Virgie for her tenacity, perseverance, humor, and her kindness. Virgie’s homemade food was the talk of every family event and holiday. Virgie enjoyed gardening in her flower beds and was a bank of knowledge for how to keep a plant alive. Virgie loved being outside on the swing with the love of her life, her dog Teddy, and a cup of coffee. Cards of condolences can be sent to the Booska family at 83 Green Street, Vergennes, VT 05491.
