March 31, 1951 - August 26, 2026
Virginia Lynne Nash, 75, passed away on August 26, 2026, in Richland, WA. Born on March 31, 1951, Virginia's career spanned various roles, reflecting her versatile talents and industrious spirit. She worked notably as an accountant and was deeply involved in volunteer tax accounting and at a local hospital, showcasing her commitment to community service. Her professional journey included significant stints at Sun Microsystems, Recovery Management Services, Chiefs RV Center, and Lucky Bridge Casino, among others. In her youth, Virginia engaged in diverse jobs such as hay collecting and cherry picking, the latter leaving her with a lifelong aversion to cherries.
She graduated from Richland's Columbia High School with the Class of 1969.
Virginia was a woman of many interests, including crocheting and building computers. She had a unique way of imparting household wisdom to her longtime roommate, Albert; and her son, John; often coupling her guidance with demands on how to improve household chores, a trait her family now remembers fondly and misses dearly.
She is survived by her sons: John Carr, 55, and Donny Camillo, 52; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and her cherished roommate of 21 years, Albert, who was like family.
Her life was marked by love and kindness, and she was a devoted friend who embraced life with generosity.
A Celebration of Life to honor Virginia's rich and impactful life will be held on October 3, 2026 at Howard Amon Park behind the Community Center from noon to 4pm.
She will be remembered for her spirited personality and her unwavering support to those she loved.
