Obituary for my Grandmother

Virginia Huddleston was born in Norman, Oklahoma on November 12, 1933 to Leroy and Emily Allen. She lived her entire life in Norman. On June 19th, 1954, she married Max Leroy Huddleston. Virginia was a cheery, bubbly, eccentric who dressed in bold prints and pursued a passion for painting. At the same time, she was always dedicated to her family, generously giving her time and help. She was one of the most positive people you could meet, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. She would advise family members to "wake up every day with something exciting to look forward to for that day." She believed in dreams, and she believed that if you were having enough fun the hard work would take care of itself. And through her creative spirit, she showed that it could be true.

Virginia was preceded in death by her husband and, tragically, her two children, Alan and Ray Huddleston. Many in the family take comfort in thinking she has rejoined her men.
