Virginia 'Jenny' Lee Ijames

5 Jan 1895 ~ Daviess Co. Owensboro, Kentucky

24 Jun 1966 ~ Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky

Today, we are remembering my paternal great-aunt Virginia 'Jenny' Probst née Ijames, on what would have been her 128th birthday. I never had the privilege of meeting her but I am honored to have been named after her and her niece, my aunt Virginia 'Ginnie' Eimes.  We have a lot of "Virginia's" in our family.

Great-grandfather to my third cousin, once removed, Kerry (we connected via DNA) . . . on what would be his 118th birthday today.
