Virginia Alice Ross, age 92, of Evart, was called to glory, at home in the presence of her family on Friday, July 25, 2025.

Virginia was born in Evart to William and Alice (Lemon) Babb on October 20, 1932. She graduated from Evart High School in 1951. Virginia was a cherished member of the Evart United Methodist Church, in her younger years she was active with W.S.C.S, and later in life she was a dedicated member of the Faith, Hope and Charity women’s group.

Virginia was a lifelong resident of Evart and that was where she made her home and raised her family. She was a homemaker with a vibrant spirit who kept a meticulously cared for and always welcoming haven. Her love of order was as well-known as her playful feistiness and great sense of humor. This same spirited energy was poured into her passions, especially baking, a love she shared generously with family and friends. A caring and fun-loving grandmother, she typically had a craft or activity to do during the holidays. She leaves a legacy of pure spunk, perfectly baked treats, and a slew of guidelines to live by.

Left to carry on her memory are; two children; David Liechti of Monroe and Kathy (David) Elder of Evart; five grandchildren: Corey (Jamie), Craig (Kelli), Chris (Taylor) Elder all of Evart, Sam (Taylor) and Zachary Liechti of Monroe; eight great grandchildren, two great-great-granddaughters; as well as many extended family, church family and friends.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, husbands; Bob Liechti and Bob Ross, her companion; Herb Swett, and siblings; Vera (Jerry) DeHart, Ross (Leota) and Roy (Vi) Babb.

All are welcome to join us, as Virginia will be laid to rest, at Forest Hill Cemetery in Evart on Saturday, August 16th at 1 p.m. with Pastor James Britt officiating. Expressions of sympathy can be left online at www.coreyfuneralhome.com.
