She worked as a visiting nurse, a case manager at both Northside Hospital and most recently at Southwoods Surgical Hospital until her retirement due to health issues, shortly after purchasing her dream home in the North Carolina mountains. She was a life-long active member of Our Lady of Sorrows St. Matthias Church where she taught religious education classes. She was a member of Br. 731 First Catholic Slovak Union and the Slovak Cultural Association.

Virginia leaves her husband, Fred DeLuca Jr., whom she married May 1, 1982; her parents; two sons, Daniel (Amie) DeLuca and Edward DeLuca; daughter, Lauren DeLuca; three grandchildren, Adalynn and Francesca DeLuca, and Logan Gasparek.

Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, June 19 at the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Avenue in Boardman. The family would like to give special thanks to her medical teams both locally and at the Cleveland Clinic for care given throughout her illness. We most especially thank all our extended family, her close personal friends, and her co-workers at Southwoods for their extraordinary expressions of love and concern. Ginny loved to travel, she loved everyone, and she was loved by so many. Her generous and vivacious spirit will be sorely missed.
