She was born on December 26, 1950, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Robert and Jacqueline Foppe.

Virginia (“Ginny,” “Gee,” and lovingly known as “Gee Maw”) will be remembered for her strength, determination, and quick wit, as well as her unwavering devotion to her family and friends. She had a remarkable way of putting others first, always offering love, support, and laughter to those around her.

A faithful member of St. Joseph Church in Cold Spring, Virginia lived a life rooted in faith and service.

Gee found her greatest joy in time spent with the people she loved. Whether she was relaxing by the pool, vacationing at the beach with friends, or proudly watching her grandchildren grow and take on the world, she treasured every moment. She was especially known for her delicious Italian cooking, which brought family and friends together around the table.

In addition to her love of family, Virginia gave back to her community through her volunteer work, including her involvement with the Fair Board and St. Joseph/Bishop Brossart High School bingo, where she formed lasting friendships and made a meaningful difference.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Jacqueline Foppe; her brother, Frank Foppe; and Allen Ray Jump Sr.

Gee is survived by her brother, John (Sherrie) Foppe; her children, Allen (Julie) Jump and Joshua (Becky) Jump; and her beloved grandchildren, Allen (Ellie) Jump and Rosie Jump. She also leaves behind many cherished nieces and nephews.
