November 5, 1977 - June 24, 2022
Born Nov. 5, 1977, died suddenly June 24, 2022 at age 44. Eldest daughter of Eric and Judy Kloess. Survived by her parents, sisters Erika Kloess & Juanita Gomes, nephew Levi and niece Kensi.
Virginia's educational accomplishments included a Social Work Degree from the University of Calgary and then a Business Administration Diploma from BCIT. She graduated from KSS in Kelowna in 1995. She was a very intelligent academic who always excelled in school with honors. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in 2013 and under went a stem cell Xplant in 2014, her sister Erika being the donor. She did fairly well in the subsequent years, but the powerful chemo drugs had taken their toll.
Virginia had a compassion for the poor, even traveling to India to see for herself the conditions under which people lived. From time to time she would assist others who were struggling financially. She was an example to her sisters in diligence and commitment to excellence in education. We grieve at her loss.
Funeral services at the Gardens of Gethsemani Chapel in South Surrey on, Wed. July 20, 2022 at 12:30 PM. She will be buried as per her wishes near her paternal grand parents and great grand parents.
No flowers, but donations to the B.C. Cancer Clinic would be appreciated.
