Virginia Rosella Brandner was born December 10, 1930, to Emil and Emma (Heib) Brandner in McPherson County. She grew up on the family farm and attended country school near Hosmer, SD, through the 8th grade and high school at Roscoe, SD.
On May 27, 1947, Virginia was united in marriage to Raymond Hoff. They had two children, Rick Raymond and Rhonda Rae.
Virginia was city editor of the Roscoe Independent for 10 years. After moving to Aberdeen, she was bookkeeper and Pharmacy tech at Walgreens Drug Store for 10 years. She then went to work at the Medical Center Pharmacy retiring at 65. She then worked there part time until she was 80.
Virginia was a past member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church and is currently a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. She was a hard worker and continued to work at Bethlehem Lutheran Church until she was 93. She loved swimming, exercising, and babysitting at the YMCA. In her younger years she loved Polka dancing. Virginia loved cooking and baking. Her Kuchen was loved by many, and her granddaughter remembers her delicious strudel as well as her smile that would light up the room. She was an avid gardener and canned everything. She loved traveling, covering most states in the United States and really enjoyed her trips to Australia and Canada. She liked playing games, putting puzzles together, and having morning coffee with her dear friends at Arbor Springs. Her most precious time was spent with her family.
She will be missed by all who loved her.
Grateful for having shared Virginia’s life are her daughter, Rhonda Rogers, granddaughter, Melissa (Troy) Rohrbach and great-grandson Brady, grandson Greg (Jaime) Rogers and their children, her sisters Frances Hunter and Judy France, and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
Preceding Virginia in death are her parents, her husband, son, Rick, and her sisters Irene Aman, Doris Geist, Nancy Brandner, and her brother James Brandner.
