Virginia E. Raymond

June 15, 1935 - January 11, 2022

Virginia E. Raymond, age 86, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, January 11, 2022. She was lovingly surrounded by family and her amazing Good Shepherd Hospice care team. She was born June 15, 1935, in Kincaid, Kansas, the daughter of Virgil and Kathryn (Henderson) Tucker. Those who knew her, knew how generous she was with her time and love for her family, friends and customers. Most of her customers were her friends and neighbors. She was a passionate animal lover and raised Quarter horses, Limousin cattle, and a countless number of dogs and barn cats. Virginia was instrumental in the success of Valley R Farm Services and GV Land & Cattle businesses. Everyone enjoyed seeing her at Valley R and she enjoyed seeing them, regardless of the price of grain. When not working - you would see her on her 30" red Snapper mower mowing the 7-acre farmstead. She was preceded by her parents, Virgil and Kathryn Tucker; her husband, Gene Raymond in 2019; her first husband, Jere Dudney, in 1969; and two sisters, Jane Garnett and Nola Mae Schultz. Virginia is survived by her three daughters, Diane Allen; Stacy Hanson and husband Arne; and Kathleen Dudney, all of Garnett, Kansas; three grandchildren, Quenten Allen and wife Ale of Olathe, Kansas, Devon Weldon and husband Todd of Plainview, Texas, Zachary Hanson of Long Beach, California; three great grandchildren, Crosston and Asher Weldon; and Ella Allen; one sister, Lillian Wilcox of Garnett, Kansas; two brothers, Virgil Tucker and wife Jo of Moran, Kansas, Tom Tucker and wife Eileen of Garnett, Kansas. Virginia lived her life with a quiet dignity and grace recognized by all that came in contact with her. She was an iconic woman and will be sorely missed by family and friends. The family will greet friends on Monday, January 17, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at Feuerborn Family Funeral Service Chapel in Garnett.
