She was born in Pocatello, Idaho, on November 16, 1933, the only child of Enzly Alphaeus and Florence Irene Stewart Gilbert. Virginia grew up in Pocatello where she enjoyed "helping" in her parents corner grocery store. She made life-long friends during her teen years, who graduated from Pocatello High School with her. While attending Idaho State University, she met her eternal companion, Harley Kirk Adamson. They were married on December 30, 1952, in the Idaho Falls Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had been married 63 years at the time of his passing. A gifted teacher, Virginia shared her talent at schools in Terreton, ID; Aberdeen, SD; Morgan, UT; and Roy, UT; teaching everything from a 1st-4th grade combo in a one-room school house to Junior High Special Education. Crafting was her favorite hobby; she loved the time she spent as owner and manager of The Treasure Peddlar in Centerville, Utah. She put both these talents to good use as she raised her five children and kept her home beautifully decorated.
