Virginia Braley Memorial Donations
Virginia Braley, 91, passed away September 23, 2020. Virginia enjoyed many interests: family foremost, cactus-gardening, dogs, painting, fashion, reading, long walks, and writing. Virginia received her B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Michigan and taught German there as a "Teaching Fellow". She served with the U.S. Foreign Service in Germany, and later wrote Fashion for the Grand Rapids Herald and the Press, plus free-lance for many local and national publications. She also led various writing groups. Virginia along with husband Jack have been supporting Grand Rapids Community Foundation for over twenty years. Their generosity supporting our Fund for Community Good has made an incredible impact in our community. We will truly miss seeing Virginia at our annual holiday get together that she frequently attended. We are honored to accept memorial donations supporting the Fund for Community Good in Virginia's memory.
