Virginia Jardine Banks ’63

Born and raised in Portland, Virginia was a history major at Reed, where she met her husband, David Banks ’63. She wrote her thesis, “George E. Chamberlain, Governor of Oregon, 1903–1909,” with Prof. Dorothy O. Johansen ’33 [history 1934–84] advising and went on to earn a master’s degree in library science from UCLA. Virginia worked as a cataloger at the Library of Congress before opting for full-time motherhood. The family lived in Vienna, Virginia; Frankfurt, Germany; Rome, Italy; and The Hague, Netherlands, before retiring to Williamsburg in 2003. Virginia was a Cub Scout leader in Rome and an embassy community liaison officer in The Hague.

A Master Gardener, Virginia was especially interested in rhododendrons and azaleas, and was a long-time member of both the Azalea Society of America and the American Rhododendron Society. She was active in the Unitarian Church, and was an accomplished quilter and weaver, creating a large number of beautiful objects during her time in Williamsburg. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, her son, Larry Banks ’94, and her sister, Doris Snyder.
