Virginia F. Nibley 1964-2016

 

Virginia Fereday Nibley graduated from this world on March 12, 2016, at her home in Provo, Utah. She moved on in the same way she moved through this life: sweetly, quietly, and at her own slow pace. Virginia was born on January 21, 1964, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Marjorie Jean McBride Nibley and Reid Neibaur Nibley. Virginia easily mastered a lot of the virtues many strive for. She couldn’t lie. She was quick to repent and to say “I’m sorry” and “I’ll do better next time.” She was quick to forgive and to say “But I still love you.” She loved unconditionally and those who knew her were blessed to be the recipients of that love. Virginia will also be remembered for her love of: teasing and being teased, giving big hugs, singing, Dr. Pepper, cheeseburgers, potatoes in any form, baptisms for the dead, going to church, family get-togethers, dancing, keeping America beautiful, lighting the cauldron at the Special Olympics, UVU, BYU, prolific journal writing, all things Disney, John Denver, taking pictures of everyday life, and going to as many parades as possible.


Virginia's friends at the Provo Special Needs Activities Program (SNAP) were very fond of her. We will miss Virginia's smile and her sweet disposition. Virginia always accomplished the SNAP activities at her own deliberate pace, but no one did a better job. We loved her and will miss her.


Virginia’s remains will be buried near her parents at East Lawn Memorial Hills in Provo, Utah. Private family services will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016, followed by a casual open house in honor of Virginia’s life from 3 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the LDS cultural hall at 100 South and 100 East in Provo, Utah. Come as you are. If she knew you, you were her friend.
