Virginia Lee was born February 8, 1935 in Clearwater, Nebraska to Alvie and Sarah (Smith) Mapes.

On June 9, 1957, Virginia married Stanley Langenberg in Clearwater.  They made their home near Hoskins.  The couple was blessed with three children, Nannette, Bradley and Brian.

Virginia had a very special gift, sales, she worked at Bestt Furniture in Norfolk.  What made her so unique, she was never tried to sell anything.  She had a true love for people and wanted them to have the very best experience they could.  She truly wanted them to be happy with their purchase.  

Her compassion and warmth show in so many different areas, but it was Virginia’s strength that will always be remembered.  Also, the family fondly remembers Virginia for being a tremendous cook.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, children Brian and Nanette, and sisters Shirley Schmidt and Zelpha Kimmer.

Virginia is survived by her son Brad of Santa Monica, CA and many nieces and nephews.
