Obituary:
Evelyn Mary Groves (Nee Virkstis), Age 95, Passed away on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009. Evelyn was a resident of the Sanctuary of Bellbrook, Rochester Hills, MI., nursing facility, and was loved by all who knew her. We thank the Trinity Healthcare System nurses and staff for their kind, loving care of our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Evelyn was born and raised in Lansing, MI., attending Lansing schools, and graduating from Eastern High School, and the Lansing Business College despite her hearing loss from Scarlet Fever at 7 years of age on a return sailing to the USA from England with her parents. Evelyn was employed by the Crippled Children's Commission, and the State of Michigan, Secretary of State office in Detroit. Evelyn was an active resident of Dearborn, Michigan for 35 years. Her independence was assured further when she helped the late Mayor Michael Guido to understand the need for resources for the deaf who would live, like she did, at Hubbard West. And he did just that! Mayor Guido never forgot Evelyn's birthdays and always sent her a warm birthday wish. She was the widow of Raymond Virkstis, and Clifford Groves. She was predeceased by her grandson, Benjamin Stewart Virkstis. Surviving are her children: Dr. Brenda O'Brien, of Ferndale, MI., Richard (Harriet)Virkstis, of West Dummerston, VT., and Laurie Virkstis, of Austin, TX. Evelyn had four surviving grandchildren: Erin OBrien (Eric) Boehm, Stephanie (Roy) Chance, Matthew (Katherine) Virkstis, and Daniel Virkstis. The great grandchildren are: Nicholas Chance, Caleb Virkstis, and Charlotte Boehm.
There will be a Memorial Service at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to: The Sanctuary at Bellbrook Garden Fund-Peonies for Evelyn Groves
