VIRGINIA M SCHAFFER's Obituary
Virginia ""Ginnie"" Mae (Lorah) Schaffer (Nana) Ms. Virginia M. Schaffer age 86 of Georgetown, DE went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 25, 2014. Regarded as a loving, comical, but ""serious at times"" daughter, wife, mother, and friend, Virginia faithfully served her Lord, family, friends, and community with all her heart. She was a light to everyone who came in contact with her. Virginia's love for God and family remains steadfast and true; her sweetness and unconditional love is what carried us all through. The proverb, ""Good things come in small packages,"" certainly holds true with ""Ginnie."" As God called her to do, she laid the foundation in each and every one of our hearts; befriending and raising us all in the way we should go so that we would never depart. Virginia was born March 31, 1928 in Vera Cruz, Leigh Co, PA, daughter of the late Daniel Weller Lorah, and Florence (Hartman) Lorah. Sister to Mildred (Lorah) Gross and the late Mary Alice (Lorah) Schoch. ""Ginnie"" was loved by her late husband, Paul Edward Schaffer, and daughter, Gail Jane (Bailey) and is survived by her son Jeffery Paul Schaffer and daughters Andrea Joy (Brown) and Jan Robin (Brown). ""Nana"" dearly loved and cherished all of her Grandchildren; 15 Grandchildren, 26 Great Grandchildren, and 4 Great-great grandchildren. A public viewing will be held at 6:00 PM on Friday, May 30, 2014, at Watson Funeral Home, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, DE 19966, with the memorial service beginning at 7:00 PM.
