Fort Worth - Virginia Yvonne Rountree Floyd died Jan. 8, 2021, in Fort Worth. She was three days shy of her 91st birthday. A family graveside service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at the Burkburnett Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Owens & Brumley Funeral Home of Wichita Falls.
Virginia was born Jan. 11, 1930, in Wichita Falls to Willie and J.W. Rountree. She graduated from Wichita Falls High School in 1947, and married Bill Floyd in 1950. After her four sons were older, Virginia worked as a bookkeeper at the Hub S&Q Clothiers. After retirement, Virginia and Bill began woodworking as a hobby and traveled the country attending craft shows. They also volunteered for Meals on Wheels.
After Bill's death in 2011, Virginia moved to Presbyterian Manor where she stayed active with crafts, painting ceramics to sell at craft sales to support the Manor's benevolent fund. After moving to Fort Worth in 2016, she focused her talents on making small head pillows for family, friends, and fellow residents. She was known as the pillow lady at Lakewood Village, and nothing gave her more pleasure than making and giving away hundreds of pillows. At the time of her death she had 50 pillows ready to give away, so they will be distributed in her honor to family and friends.
For more than 50 years, Virginia attended the North Fourth and Broadway Church of Christ, where Bill was minister. They took care of every aspect of the church, from administration to service planning and organization. Longtime members of North Fourth were Virginia's extended family. When Bill was no longer able to preach and the church building sold, Virginia placed membership at the Tenth and Broad Church of Christ until her move to Fort Worth to be near family. She was a member of the Lakewood Church of Christ at the time of her death.
