Mom was 88 years old and had a long, full life. She now joins her husband, Seab, her mother, father, sister, brother and many other friends and relatives in Heaven. She takes with her, my heart. Virginia was a Jacksonville native and graduated from Jackson High School where she was in many organizations including the Pepperette club and the yearbook staff. Virginia worked for Southern Bell for 20 years, retiring to marry my father and start a family. She loved her family, her church and most especially, her granddaughter, Samantha, who will miss her "Yia Yia." In addition to her granddaughter, she leaves behind her daughter, Joy "Pepper" Lindsey (Kent); sisters, Titia Katsikas & Mary Picras; sisters-in-laws, Sophie Farris & Julia Farris and many nephews & nieces. Visitation will be held 5:30-8:00 PM Friday, February 16, ! 2007 at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 4115 Hendricks Avenue with a Trisagion service starting at 6:00 PM. Graveside services will be celebrated 11:00 AM Saturday, February 17, 2007 at Oaklawn Cemetery. In accordance with Mom's wishes, there will be no reception after the ceremony. Virginia was a wonderful loving mother and a great friend. We are comforted knowing she's happy and laughing in heaven. We would like to thank the staff of Taylor Home who took such good care of Mom. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Virginia's honor to Taylor Home, to St. John The Divine Greek Orthodox Church or the City Rescue Mission.
