Virginia May Murray “Ginger” Seay
July 31, 1953 – April 30, 2022
Virginia May Murray Seay, 68, of Chesterfield passed away suddenly on Saturday, April 30, 2022, in the emergency room at Chippenham Hospital
Virginia “Ginger” Seay was an early retiree due to a job related injury that prevented any physical labor that she had done all her life.
Ginger started with A & P grocery until closing ; then went into shipping with Overnight until layoffs and continued that path until the recession when she went back to work in the grocery industry with Food Lion and added another part time job with Chesterfield Nutrition Services within the school system. Just her work history showed how loyal she was. Anyone that met our mother, Ginger, has always told us how much they loved her. She gave EVERYTHING she had in everything she did, whether she was raising her kids, on her own, her sacrifice to anyone that needed anything including strangers that would come through her life. She loved her family, friends and was always giving. She enjoyed crafts. The last few years of her life were a struggle, having been forced into early retirement, but as she has done all her life she fought to the very end
Survivors include her children, Shannon Lynn Reid-Everett ( Terry Everett); her son, Joseph Allen Seay; and her younger brother, Everett “Corky” Murray (Kim); her grandchildren, Dylan Hunter Payne, Cheyann Faith Mohammed and Kaleb Rayne Mohammed; cousin John Murray; as well as many extended family members and friends she has touched in her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Emory Murray and Joyce Pauline Campbell Murray; grandmother Leila May Campbell; her oldest brother, Clarence Eugene Murray; half brother Richard Murray; and her first blood grandson, Skylar Takoda Mohammed.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at 2p.m. on Sunday, May 15 at 18801 Patrick Henry Highway Amelia, VA 23002.
Memorials may be made to RACC for Tommie Fund https://www.raccfoundation.
Virginia was one of the best friends I have ever had in my life. She was a great listener as well a great worker. I wil miss my friend.
Momma was always a Strong Independent woman. I have the honor to call her my mom as I spent more time with her then my own. She may never truly no just how much she helped me through four years of high school hell and taught me to keep going keep getting up and to do what I got to do and I did just that she was my mom he was The Rock she was the one who knew we was going to be teenagers and getting into things and the way she handled us taught us more than any type of corporal punishment could ever I feel like she is very much so the reason I started out so well I’m sorry we had fallen out for a short. But that would be my fault and I own that I’m just so very thankful that I was able to see you on so many occasions even in the Care Facility and you got to see that I did turn out to be what she helped raise me to turn me into so I could always go without depending on a man it’s so I’m so thankful because she got to see any in that I might have made some mistakes along the way but I kept at it and now I have accomplished something that I know deep inside of me what she taught me helped me to get there I’m going to miss you Mom and I love you Nintendo you’re no longer in paint I promise to take care of sissy and Joe and you never have to worry ever again because I’m going to stay on this path that I’m on and thank you for watching over me cuz you know for sure ….I definitely needed it. Until we meet again fly high beautiful angel see you in the street lights come on
My grandkids loved Ms.Virginia as the called her when they went to Chakley. Joe became friends with my family around the age of 11 or so and we always thought the world of him and his mother. Joe and Shannon we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Ms.Virgina this isn’t goodbye it’s see you later. Until we meet again.
Deepest heartfelt condolences from Lana Gentry and Donnie Green.
Always with a hug and a smile I miss you sis.
Prayers are with y’all. I’m glad I was allowed to know your mom, the sweetest women. God has gained a flower for his garden.
My condolences, I am so sorry for your loss.
To the family and fiends of Ms. Virginia. My deepest condolences. Ms. V was a great mom figure to me for many years. Always making sure I did what I was suppose to do at work. She always was open to hear a person vent when they were at their lowest. The sweetest most dedicated woman I’ve ever meant. We will all miss and love you dearly.
Oh my turtle. How I’m going to miss you. You were always the first one to say, it will be OK. You Loved everyone that you met. The kids Loved you. You never had a bad word to say about anyone. I will always keep you dear to my heart. I will truly miss you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I am proud to call you my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss Shannon and Jojo your mom was a very sweet and loving person and I’m sorry that she has left this world so early.
Hey Momma, God how I miss you! I know you are still speaking to me by all the signs and the only reason I cry is because I am selfish and want to kiss your forehead one more time and lay in bed or in my couch with you watching SVU or some other cop or ER show that you loved. So many people you touched and loved would have you smiling right now telling them it was nothing, its just who you are and you raised Joe and I that way too. I know you are no longer sick, in pain and are with your own mom, dad and Skylar looking down on us until we are reunited. That does give me some comfort, I was so angry Saturday when the Truck officially quit and I could not make it up to you sooner, but God Told me later that it was his time and I was to hold on to the times we had and he wanted to be sure Joe was with me and why it was him that came to pick me up that day to go to the hospital. Nothing will bring you back to this earth but I know in my heart no matter how large this hole is where my love for you and yours for me is empty that you are in such a better place than where we are going here on earth. Your Doctor G called and he cried with me and told me you said at the last conversation that you were just tired of not feeling good. I wish I could have taken that all away for you but I did my best and wanted the same for you to just come home to me to take care of. Just needed a little more time but God needed you more than I for his Kingdom as your heart is of Gold. Please continue to watch over us all while you are truly living your best life up there and hug my little Sky for me and tell grandma i cant wait to meet her and hug papa again. I love you so very much and until i see you again <3
My thoughts and prayers are with Shannon. Joe, family and friends. Ms Virginia is gone by sight,, but never from your memories. Gone from your touch, but never from your heart and will be looking down on you from heaven. Ms Virginia will be dearly missed by many..
