Virginia Brockwell Thompson

Virginia B. Thompson, 63, of Dinwiddie, peacefully went into eternal sleep on Wednesday, December 14th, 2016. Born, September 10th, 1953, Virginia Dare Brockwell went on to create a life full of love. Virginia graduated from Prince George High School in 1970. All those that knew her then always speak of the beautiful person she was inside and out. A man came into her life that was so taken back by all she was, that he proposed to her on their first date at Maymont Park. Virginia and Charlie married in May of 1972 and built a life together resulting in five children, eight grandchildren and a great granddaughter. Virginia was not just a mother to her own children, but to so many. The phrase “to know her, is to love her” could not be more fitting for the person that Virginia was to everyone. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents Eddie and Josie Harrison Brockwell; and son, John Daniel Thompson. We can only imagine the catching up they are all doing now. She is survived by her adoring husband, Charles R. Thompson Jr.; her four loving children and spouses, Rebecca. T. Coleman (Lawrence, Jr.), Joseph R. Thompson Sr. (Lydia), Sarah R.T. Lassiter (Alfred), and Matthew L. Thompson; eight grandchildren, Ryleigh N. Coleman, Sydney D. Coleman, Cole Coleman, Isabella D. Thompson, Joseph R. Thompson Jr., Blakely L. Thompson, Joshua B. Thompson and Michael C. Thompson; and great-granddaughter, Olivia A. Read; niece, Crystal Harrup; great niece Haley Harrup. A memorial service will be held at 4:00 P.M., Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at Martin’s Brandon Episcopal Church, 18706 James River Dr., Disputanta, VA 23842. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Edwards Masonic Lodge #308 or Order of the Eastern Star #126 of Stony Creek, 12445 Main Street, Stony Creek, VA 23882. The family is being served by the Petersburg Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home. Condolences may be registered at www.jtmorriss.com .
