      She then went on to be an honor student at Illinois University and a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, graduating with a degree in business.
      While attending Illinois University, Virginia met and married Joseph Aldendifer, a decorated WWII Army Pilot with whom she had two sons. They later divorced and she continued to raise her sons in Wichita where she remained a lifelong resident.
      Virginia worked as a transcriber at the Wichita Medical Clinic until she retired at the age of 65.
      She was an active member of the Plymouth Church, Chaplain for the American Legion, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a volunteer voting official over a period of several decades.
      Among her many interests and talents, Virginia was a published poet and loved playing the piano.
      She remained active in Wichita’s Kappa Alpha Theta alumni chapter throughout the rest of her life.
      She is survived by her sister Elaine Book; sons Joseph R. Aldendifer (California) and James E. Aldendifer (Indiana); grandchildren, Christina Aldendifer (Tennessee), Tom Aldendifer (Illinois), Anthony Aldendifer (Indiana); and great grandchild, Isabella Aldendifer (Tennessee).
