Virginia Lea Jarman Owens, 94, passed quietly into eternal rest on March 8, 2023, in Flagstaff, AZ. She was born September 9, 1928, in Unionville, MO to John F. and Amel B. Sulser Jarman. She graduated from Keytesville High School in MO in 1946. She was united in marriage to Walter Kenneth Owens in 1947 who preceded her in death in 1979. Also preceded in death by her parents and four brothers John Jr., Larry, Ronald, and Jerry.

Virginia is survived by her son Randall Kenneth Owens and his wife Debra, my lovely daughter in-law and best friend, grandsons Kenneth and Derek, half-brother Michael Mitchell of Mt. Pleasant, IA, and Sister in-law Dorothy Jarman. Also, one special Aunt Faye Pipes and many special nieces and nephews.

In 1962 the family relocated to Glendale, AZ from MO. Virginia was a secretary at Thunderbird Sales Corp. from 1962-1964. Virginia took the Federal Civil Service Exam and began as a secretary at Luke AFB, AZ. She remained there from 1964 until her retirement in January 1995. Absolutely a most rewarding position and meeting so many great women and men during her 31 years. After her retirement she moved from Sun City West, AZ to Unionville, MO to help care for relatives for 10 years. In 2005 Virginia moved to Cottonwood, AZ living there until her short illness.

Virginia was a member of Order of Eastern Star for 60 plus years. The absence of her leaves a huge hole in our hearts. We do know one day we will be united with her; her physical absence leaves us at a loss.

No services per Virginia's request. She was buried at Resthaven Cemetery, Glendale, AZ alongside her husband.
