Virginia is raised by the Renchers

Virginia found a welcoming home with Joseph and Nettie Rencher.  Her adopted family were very dear to her.  This is Nettie and Joseph in their younger years.  They were much older when they adopted Virginia.  Nettie was in her later fifties.  Joseph died in a wagon accident when Virginia was 13.  She mourned his death greatly as she was "the apple of his eye."

Nettie and Virginia spent many years alone together.  They were a blessing for each other. 

I think this photo is of Virginia on the day of her adoption, taken in front of Nettie Rencher's home.

I think Virginia is on the left and maybe Eula Rencher on the right.  Virginia looks much like her mother Edythe in this photo.

Virginia is the girl on the front row to the right.

Growing up.  Moe perms must have come in vogue.

Single years.

Virginia worked in Holbrook for a number of years after she graduated from high school.  She bought a small house there.  She later moved to Salt Lake City and worked at the LDS Business college where she met Lloyd G. Frey whom she later married.  She lived and worked in Denver before her marriage on July 28, 1949.  Lloyd and Virginia had four children, Sandra, Lloya, Marjorie and George.
