Virginia Irene Curtiss- age 85 of Farwell, passed away on March 31,2022 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Virginia was born on January 26, 1937, to parents Charles and Iris (Green) Brown in Farwell, Michigan. She attended Farwell Schools, graduating in 1955. Virginia married who would be the love of her life for 66 years, Richard Curtiss in Clare. Together they raised two sons and two daughters. She worked as a secretary for Schofield Insurance in Farwell. She was a faithful member of the Farwell United Methodist Church and could always be counted on to provide baked goods for UMW functions. She adored her family and loved making her home a happy, welcoming place for her grandchildren. She could be seen often, walking with Richard in their neighborhood; in fact, you would always see her walking hand in hand with Richard.
