Virginia Cunningham DeLaTorre Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Virginia Cunningham DeLaTorre passed away on June 8th just shy of her 96th birthday. She was born in Detroit, Michigan to Chester Burl Wilhite and Anna Lee Howell Wilhite but spent the majority of her young life in White County, Tennessee. Her parents, husband Angelo DeLaTorre, her first husband Joe Cunningham, brothers William Reed Wilhite, Roy Hoover Wilhite, sisters Norma Sue Farris and Bessie Saylors preceded her in death. She is survived by her children Phyllis (Bob) Enos, Debra (Tom) Rice, Marcos (Sherri) DeLaTorre, Jackie (Don Sterni) Arruda, Angi (Bruce) Simmons, sisters Nell Moore and Trena (Bailey) Little, brother Ralph Wilhite; sisters-in-law Rose Caballero and Connie Lucas, brother-in-law Joe DeLaTorre, Grandchildren, Bobby (Shanette) Enos, Stephanie Enos, Joshua (Allison) Rice, Jeremiah (Stephanie) Rice, and numerous great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren who will miss her very much. Burial will be in the Elrod Family Cemetery in Sparta, Tennessee. As a young woman she had to play the guitar and sing at family gatherings which she said she hated but the last couple of years she started singing church hymns from her childhood off-key and really loud and seemed to enjoy it very much. She had a wicked sense of humor and loved to be around people. She left her mark wherever she went. The family wishes to thank Grace Cruz, her caregiver for several years, and all the caregivers and staff at Almabella Manor II in Vallejo especially Annie that held our hand through this process. And a special thank you to Susan Rice and Donna Gorden who helped whenever we needed it.
