Virginia Wall's Obituary
Virginia Wall, 98, of Fertile, MN, died on Tuesday, November 17, 2015, at the Fair Meadow Nursing Home, Fertile, MN. She was born on August 24, 1917, to Robert and Martha (Meeke) Glaesel in Chicago, IL. Her family moved to Oak Park, IL, where she graduated from Oak Park High School. Virginia began working for International Harvester as a secretary.
On February 15, 1941, Virginia was united in marriage to Kenneth Wall at Oak Park, IL. Because Kenneth was in the Air Force, Virginia lived with her parents until Kenneth was discharged. They moved to LaGrange Park, IL. Following their retirement, she and Kenneth moved to Glen Ellyn, IL. During a trip to Florida, Kenneth died in 1973. Virginia continued to live in Glen Ellyn at her home until 2004, when she entered Friendship Village in Schaumburg, IL. To be closer to her daughter, Karen, Virginia moved to Stephen, MN, in 2011. As her health declined, Virginia moved to the Fair Meadow Nursing Home in 2013.
In her younger years, Virginia enjoyed bowling, golfing, and playing cards with friends and family. She and Kenneth loved to dance and socialize with friends. As the years advanced, Virginia loved to care for her family and their home. Reading was a passion for Virginia as she read book after book. She was very active at St. John's Lutheran Church in LaGrange, IL. Spending time with family brought her much joy.
Virginia is survived by her daughter, Karen (Peter) Carlson, Mentor, MN, formerly of Argyle, MN; Kenneth (Barb) Wall, Hawthorn Woods, IL; five grandchildren: Tony (Jennifer) Carlson, Rob (Shanda) Carlson, Kristin (Chris) Jerome, Kelsey Wall, and Robyn Wall, and eight great-grandchildren; one brother-in-law, Charles Eichberger, Las Vegas, NV; and nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and sisters: Shirley and her husband, Herb, Powell and Bobbette Eichberger; and in-laws: George Wall and Dora Wall Wolf.
Memorial Services will be on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, at 1:00 PM at the Fair Meadow Nursing Home, Fertile, MN.
