She attended the University of Nebraska and graduated from Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Nebraska. There, she began a career in retail merchandising followed by a lifetime career in the travel industry and corporate relocation. Her employment path allowed her to live in several cities, including Lincoln, Nebraska, Dallas, Texas, Kansas City, Missouri, and for the last 30 years, Omaha, Nebraska. Her love of travel afforded her the opportunity to visit almost every state as well as England, Australia, Rio de Janeiro, Costa Rica and Tortola, British Virgin Islands. An avid gardener, Virginia could be found on most any warm, sunny day on her knees digging in the dirt. She collected plants and flowers and loved to take you on a walk through her yard to show what she had done most recently. A true Husker fan, Virginia was sure to wear red on Husker game day and never missed a game on TV or radio. Friends were very important to Virginia. She loved to throw parties and surround herself with friends, sharing laughs and making memories. Never having children, Virginia loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own. She spoke to them and of them every chance she could and loved it when they called, visited and Skyped. Known to them as Aunt Gigi, she was the kind of aunt everyone wishes they had. Virginia is survived by four siblings: Vicki (Randy) Brabec of Clarkson, Nebraska, Roxanne (Brad) Anderson of Omaha, Verne (Terri) Holoubek of Hartford, Wisconsin, and Rollie (DyAnne) Holoubek of Adel, Iowa.
