    I have just learned from David Adair of my third cousin Virginia's Passing who, was a descendant of the Cleary family from Blackstone, Duncormick, Co Wexford, Ireland and whose family members emigration to Pennsylvania, USA began in 1861 and continued into the 1900s. I offer my sincere sympathy to all the family and friends of Virginia on this sad occasion. I am including my contact details in the event that, any of the family members may wish to find out more about the history of their ancestors and extended family here in Ireland.

    I'll always remember Virg's beautiful smile and heartfelt laugh. We played Bunco together back in the day, and she was always happy, funny and one of the highlights of the evening! My love and condolences to Virg's family and friends. Claire Nolden Ahearn

    We will miss Virg forever! She was such a wonderful friend and confidant. She had an amazing understanding of people, and a wonderful perspective.. She was the kind of person that you can talk to for hours, and never run out of things to talk about. Everyone who knew her loved her! She was one of a kind, a real gem. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Kovalchick, and Adair Families, and all of her friends and neighbors too. ☘️♥️😘. All my love to each of you, Laura Joyce Beck
