Virginia “Gin/Gammie:” Thompson, nee Heins, passed away on August 2, 2024 at the age of 97 at Fair Oaks Hospital. She was born on September 10, 1926 in Greeleyville, South Carolina. After high school graduation she left the farm for Washington, DC where she met Charles Douglas Thompson to whom she was married for 47 years until his death in 1993. She is survived by her sister Ceil, her children Kathy and Doug, her grandchildren Emily, Scott and Mark and step grandson Grant, her great grandchildren Caroline, Jack, Tommy, Henry, Sofia, Olivia and James and her step great grandchildren Gavin and Jayson. Virginia spent her life surrounded by family and happily lived her life in her own home.
Virginia was fun loving and humble. She put everyone before herself and enjoyed life to the fullest. Her favorite things in life included family, Pawleys Island, the Redskins, (not the Commanders!) and Flint Hill Elementary School and staff. She was a dedicated employee at Flint Hill for more than 40 years where she made many lasting friendships. She will be missed by many, but her memories will all be happy ones.

Virginia was a sweet woman.
I met her 30 years ago this month when I moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia to teach 4th grade. She greeted me and wanted to know what my deal was. When I shared I was from PA, she said, “Oh you’re a Yankee”. That was so Virginia. She then asked me if I wanted a tomato sandwich. I loved my time with her. We remained friends after I left teaching . I loved our times as the famous Flint Hill Happy Hours on Fridays. She was a smidge older than my mother and gave so much to me as I got to have her as a family member in a new state and town I didn’t know. I will miss her so much as she was such a beautiful soul and woman.
