She was born in Estill County, Kentucky where she spent her early childhood. The family moved to Youngers Creek, Kentucky when Virginia was a young girl and they lived on and farmed the John Wallace Farm (originally the Hart Farm). While on a double-date with her sister, Dovie, they both found future husbands who were also brothers, Leonard and Elbert Lee Edlin. In June of 1945, at the age of 17, she married Leonard Stoy Edlin, Sr. She dedicated her life to selflessly caring for and loving her family. She was a life-long member of Youngers Creek Baptist Church. She enjoyed being a member of the Young and Rowdy Senior Citizens and Wesley Hilltop Senior Citizens. Virginia always dreamed of traveling. In her later years she had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, Alaska, and other destinations. She was always ready to go on vacation with her children, even if it was just for the weekend. One of her greatest joys was planting and caring for her flowers. Virginia always greeted everyone with a smile, which earned her the nickname of "Smiley" at Signature at North Hardin.
Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard Stoy Edlin, Sr.; three children, Margaret A. Lyle, Boyd L. Edlin, and Linda K. Fisher; four brothers, Wallace, James, Henry, and Boyd Wiseman; two sisters, Audie Wiseman and Emma Clem; and parents, Dillard and Emerine Tipton Wiseman.
