Virginia was raised in Rochester, New York and was a graduate of West High School. Shortly after graduation, she married Arthur Kirvan and raised a family in their home they had built themselves. On their three-acre lot there were many raspberry and blackberry bushes that she used to make homemade pies for her family to enjoy. Virginia was devoted homemaker as well as a lens inspector in eye care until retirement. On weekends and after retirement, her and Arthur enjoyed camping trips in their travel trailer and had been to every state in the lower forty-eight states and had collected spoons from each destination. In her spare time that they weren’t camping and taking extended summer vacations, Virginia was an avid bowler and loved to do so up into her late 80’s. If not bowling she enjoyed having a get together with friends and having her friends over for card night. She was a loving and a caring wife, mother, neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends. Graveside services will be held September 24, 2021 at 2:00pm at the Churchville Cemetery, in Churchville, New York. Arrangements are under the direction of Allee-Holman-Howe Funeral Home and are incomplete at this time.
