Virginia Culbertson

Virginia Strahl Culbertson God saw she was getting tired And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around her And whispered, ''Come with me.'' With tearful eyes we watched Her suffer and saw her pass away. And though we love her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us His home in heaven is best. Virginia M. Strahl Culbertson, 93, of New Athens, passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior on Saturday, November 12, 2005 at the Bell Nursing Home, Morristown, OH.

She was an active member of the New Athens Presbyterian Church; the Missionary Society; the Band Mothers; the Community Club; and was a Girl Scout Leader for many years. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of fifty years, Samuel Albert Culbertson in 1990.
