Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Virginia Alexander Large, age 66, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away suddenly on November 12, 2025.
Born and raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Virginia was the youngest of six children. She graduated from Grosse Pointe South High School in 1977 and earned her degree in accounting from Hillsdale College.
Virginia began her career with EDS Corporation in Troy, Michigan, and later worked for PaineWebber, where she earned her Series 7 license. She went on to earn her CNA license and studied to become an LPN. Most recently, she devoted her talents and energy to the Women’s Refuge Thrift Shop in Vero Beach, FL and Light Group Ministries.
A gifted singer, Virginia shared her love of music throughout her life. She was an active member of Grosse Pointe Theatre for many years and sang joyfully in her church choir.
