Virginia T Dobbins

Virginia Dobbins, 90 years old, of Hillsboro, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 3, 2024 at Legacy Nursing Home in Hillsboro, Oh. She is survived by her husband, John Dobbins. John and Virginia were married on December 6, 1975 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She shared a marriage with John, for 49 years. John took wonderful care of Virginia during their life together, especially since her stroke almost 10 years ago. He was a good provider and a good spiritual husband to her and her children.

She is also survived by her two daughters, Denise Greene (Terry), Therese Young (Allen) and son, Mark Prestwood (Marilyn); along with nine grandchildren: Elizabeth Greene, Elaina Ebbing, Blaine Edmonds, III, Katie Edmonds, Alisha Edmonds, Bobby Edmonds, Mark Prestwood, Mya Awawdeh and Autumn Prestwood. She is also survived by 12 great grand-children. She was preceded in death by three of her children-Rick Collett, Sue Cecil and Frank (Buddy) Prestwood.

Virginia was born in Middlesboro, Kentucky on April 22, 1934. Then her parents moved the family to Cincinnati, Ohio at some point; she was probably 10-12 years old. She had much responsibility helping to raise her three brothers during the "Depression" while her parents tried to find work.

She was a faithful Jehovah's Witness since her baptism on May 8, 1971. She would share her hope of God's Kingdom with people whenever she could and wherever she was. She enjoyed studying the Bible with others and teaching them the wonderful truths found in the Bible; especially with her grand-children, Elizabeth and Elaina, and Liz's children, Jared and Alexandra. She also enjoyed very much when Alisha and Katie would visit and bring their children. They usually brought dinner too!

She was a very "artsy" person. She loved to paint, sew and do crafts. She even tried her hand at working with stained glass. She had many other wonderful talents! She was a hard worker and was an excellent cook! Virginia could strike up a conversation on a dime and had an infectious smile and a good sense of humor. She will be missed by all who knew her and loved her.
