Passed away peacefully at 5:15pm on July 1, 2010 at the age of 69 years. Born in Victoria on April 22, 1941 to George & Jennet Lane. Predeceased by her first husband Victor Edward Foster in 1978. Survived by her loving husband of 30 years, Keith Kupitz. Lovingly remembered by her sons Malcolm (Judy) & Allan (Wendy) Foster and step-children Carol (David) MacEachern & Gary Kupitz. Grandchildren Sarah, Brandon, Briana, & Erik.
Virginia devoted 38 years to the RCMP, which allowed her to keep close tabs on her kids! She had a heart of gold and a laugh that filled the room. She leaves a hole in our lives that won’t ever be filled.
A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, July 11, 2010 between 1 & 4 pm at the Metchosin Fire Hall at 4440 Happy Valley Road. Private interment to take place at Royal Oak Burial Park at a later date.

Keith and family,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Virginia. She always had a smile on her face. She was so great when she looked after my kids and my dogs when we went away. I have never known someone who was such an animal lover and put others first. We will miss her. There is a special place in heaven for her. Thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Virginia both at Colwood Detachment in the 80s and Victoria SubDivision in the 90s. She was always so bright and cheerful and always had a smile on that lovely face. She had an infectious happy way about her – it was a pleasure to be around Virginia. I always enjoyed our Christmas luncheons with all the “old girls” from Colwood – it was a great way to keep in touch and it was Virginia that organized these get togethers for many years. A group of us had lunch with Virginia just a few weeks ago and we are all so thankful we had the opportunity to spend time with her. Although she was very ill at the time, but typical Virginia, there were no complaints from her!
My thoughts are with her family at this time. Her family was the most important part of her life and I know she will be missed by all who knew her.
Sincerely,
Lynn Baber
