"Yes we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord."

Virginia was born on September 28, 1938 to the late Mr. Lazzie and Mrs. Della Bannister. She grew up in Ridgeville and Charleston, SC.

She received her education and then married her childhood sweetheart, the late Nathaniel Jenkins. To this union of love, they were blessed with two sons, Anthony and Shawn Jenkins.
