Virginia was born on December 4, 1929 in North Platte the daughter of Charles M. and Inez M. Johnson. Ginny graduated with the class of 1947 from North Platte High School. She moved to Denver with a girlfriend to work. Upon coming back home for a visit, she met her husband-to-be Terry H. Richardson. After his enlistment they were married in Denver and celebrated over 50 years of marriage before his passing. Ginny worked for 20 years for Montgomery Wards in the catalog department and made some wonderful friendships there. After her husband’s passing, she chose to move to Buffalo Bill Manor and has resided there since. She loved meeting new people and was very involved in the activities and functions they had.
