Virginia Thompson was the mother of writer Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005, suicide). She had two other sons, Davison Wheeler Thompson (1940-) and James Garnet Thompson (1949-1993, AIDS). She was married to Jack Robert Thompson from November 2, 1935 until his death in 1952. For many years she was employed as a librarian at the Louisville (Ky.) Free Public Library.

Virginia was an intemperate consumer of alcohol, and James would tell of being called, as an adolescent, to retrieve her from where she had passed out drunk in public places.
