Virginia was born Sept. 21, 1932, in Wordon, Mont., to William and Marie (Balzer) Baum. She graduated from Huntley Project High School. On Oct. 26, 1952, she married George Reichman in Wordon, Mont. In 1955, she and George moved to Mandan where they shared their lives, raised their family and made many friends.
Virginia was one who would easily meet people, enjoyed visiting and always wanted to learn about people. She had a keen interest in other cultures as she and George would travel around the world and was more than happy to share their experiences. Virginia was always a gracious host, in her element when entertaining friends. She prepared six course gourmet meals, served on her finest china, everything done with eleganc and a floral centerpiece to match. She remembered people's favorite dishes and would naturally prepare that special dish for them. Her artistic flair was evident in her passion for ceramics, having owned her own shop, "Ginny's Genies" for 15 years. She shared her talents, giving classes in ceramics and was most proud to see a student excel in class. Virginia also made wedding cakes specially designed as requested by the lucky couple.
A generous person, giving her time to her church wherever needed and also belonging to groups related to church ministry. Virginia was a Sunday school teacher and served as an elder and treasurer. She was active in Presbyterian Womens Club, National Older Adult Ministry, PEO, Delphian Book Club, American Diabetes Association, Zonta International and a trustee for the Mandan Public Library. She continued her interests by gathering uniforms and memorabilia for the Mandan Historical Society. After owning her own ceramic shop she worked as an assistant clerk of Court for Morton County for 10 years and for a short time at the North Dakota Department of Education.
In all of this, whether for community, church or her most beloved of all, her family, it was Virginia's gracious, elegant and gentile way that we all loved and will cherish.
Blessed to have shared her life is her husband of 57 years, George Reichman, Mandan; her daughter, Alice M. (Lee) Johnson, Mandan; her son, Lawrence "Larry" (Gloria) Reichman, Warner Robins, Ga.; five grandchildren, Heather (David) Barb, Heidi (Jason) Griffin, Maggie and Bill Schafer and Mathew Johnson; one great-grandchild, Parker Barb; one brother, Gerald (Connie) Baum, Billings, Mont.; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
