RICHMOND—Virginia Mae Knudsen, 80, of Richmond, passed away peacefully in her home on March 22, 2022.
Virginia was born on November 4, 1941, in Irvington. She attended Lancaster High School and then received her Registered Nurse diploma from St. Luke’s Hospital. She worked in nursing for 27 years before retiring to care for her husband who had fallen ill.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Allan Knudsen; her parents, Lee R. and Isla Mae Barrack; and her brother, Roy Barrack.
