- Virginia was born and raised in Wisconsin, but moved to Missouri after her marriage, and then to Englewood, Florida, when her husband, Robert C. Roussin, retired. She was the loving mother of Carla D. Maessen, Robert C. Roussin (Georgia), and Rebecca J. Stevenson (Gary).
As the oldest girl in a family with 14 children, Virginia took on adult responsibilities at an early age. She went to work at age 13 as a maid, and later worked in several shoe factories. She was a creative seamstress and skilled crafter, Sunday School teacher, choir member, Lutheran Women's Missionary League member and leader. She enjoyed playing bridge and golfing with her friends at the Rotonda Golf Club. She and her husband were founding members of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Englewood.
In addition to her husband Robert, Mrs. Roussin was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer Birdell and Bessie (Mathison) Johnson, six brothers (Emery, Gordon, Kenneth, Warren, Darold, and Ronald Johnson) and three sisters Marjorie Moehring, Eileen Pietrowski, and June Sannes, and well as her son-in-law Harley Maessen and her grandson Mark D. Maessen.

Maessen, Matthew Stevenson (wife Elizabeth Zimmerman) , and Hope Manion (husband Thomas Manion); and three great-grandchildren -Jordan H. Maessen, Jane R. Manion, and Saoirse A. Manion.
