It is with profound sadness, yet with deep gratitude for a life well-lived, that we announce the passing of Virginia Irma Vollmer Smith, affectionately known as Sunshine. Virginia passed away peacefully at her home on June 2, 2026, at the age of 90. Her journey began on May 31, 1936, in the serene town of Palmyra, Wisconsin, where she was born to her loving parents, Clarence and Evelyn Vollmer. Virginia was a bright beacon of warmth and hospitality, earning her the endearing nickname "Sunshine." She possessed an extraordinary gift for making everyone feel welcome and valued, a testament to her boundless kindness and generosity. Her gentle spirit and unwavering compassion touched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to cross her path. Virginia's life was a tapestry woven with love, family, and cherished memories. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, John Smith, with whom she shared a deep and abiding love. Together, they built a family rooted in love and respect. Her son, Daniel Paul Domenosky, and her siblings Carol (Virgil) Davis, Joyce (Bert) Hoover, and Butch Vollmer also preceded her, each leaving a profound impact on her life. Virginia's legacy lives on through her surviving family members, who will continue to honor her memory. She is survived by her devoted daughters, Debra (Tom) Green, Susan Garbers, and Mari Beth Domenosky. Her love and wisdom have been passed down to her 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, each of whom carry forward her spirit and values. Virginia lived a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Her home was a sanctuary of warmth, where laughter was a constant companion and love was always abundant.
