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.

Our sympathies. The community has lost a lovely person.
I am sorry to see that Virginia has passed. She used to love square dancing with us at the Frontier Twirlers and I also new her as a youngster as her parents and my parents were very close friends. Our condolences to Keith and family.
I was in the HRS Victory Sea Ranger group that Virginia was part of and really enjoyed her companionship, laughter and tall tales. We are going to miss her at our annual reunion in Aug. Her stories held many a girls attention for hours and her generosity will be sadly missed.
Respectfully,
Merville Hall
To Keith and family
Bernie and I were so saddened when you told us of Virginia’s passing. We have been nextdoor neighbours and friends for many years and we will miss her a lot. I will miss our ‘heart-to-hearts’ and our hearty laughs especially over the dogs! While I am typing this Bailey has arrived for her nightly cookie and pat and I just bet you know that Virginia. You are in our thoughts.
So sad to hear of Virginia’s passing. She worked with our Father, Ted Foster, at the Colwood RCMP detachment in the 1970’s. They maintained their friendship over the years, and he always referred to her as “Cousin Virginia”! We have fond memories of both riding horses and swiming at Virginia’s house in Metchosin growing up.
May you feel surrounded by love at this difficult time.

I worked with Virginia at the West Shore Detachment for several years and she was such a happy upbeat person all the time. The picture chosen here is such a fantastic photo, it glows with her personality.
Virginia was a dear friend. Virginia was my first supervisor with the RCMP when I moved to Victoria. I liked her from the first time I met her and have kept her as a friend ever since.
I will miss Virgina for the rest of my life.
A battle stoutly fought, and I am sorry that my friend and sister Ranger is gone. A great lady with a bright mind of her own, and a great funnybone. Sending you, her family, love and light at this sad time.
