| Virginia Lee Kisner |
Virginia Mae Lee Kisner, 99, of Fairmont, entered into
the loving arms of Jesus whom she loved dearly on April 21, 2014, at Fitzwaters
Assisted
Living Center.
She was born Oct. 27, 1914, in Monongah, daughter of the late Charles Edgar and Georgia Ellen Davis Lee. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Denis Kisner (married on April 12, 1936, with 68 years of marriage).
Virginia was an active member of the Monongah Methodist Church during her early years and a longtime member of Central Christian Church in Fairmont. She was active in several areas of church service including the Christian Women’s Fellowship and served as deaconess for several years.
She was a 1932 graduate of Monongah High School. For a period of time she wrote the Monongah News for the Fairmont Times.
Virginia was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend with a great sense of humor and much faith. She enjoyed reading the Bible, spending time with her friends and family, singing around the piano and in the car, reciting poetry and working with her flowers. She just loved life! She will be greatly missed.
