-Virginia F. Raymond passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday March 9th, 2025 at McLaren Bay Region hospital in Bay City, Michigan after a short illness.

Born on August 30th, 1937, in Princess Anne, Maryland, she was the daughter of the late Earl T. Long and the late Florence B. Long.

A life-long homemaker, she took great pride in her children and grandchildren. She often referred to herself as an "old farm girl" and was very proud of her Princess Anne roots, often telling stories of growing up on her father's farm.

She is survived by her four children and five grandchildren. Her husband of over 60 years, John E. Raymond Jr., predeceased her in 2014.

A private family service will be held at a later date and time.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial gifts be sent to the National FFA Foundation at 6060 FFA Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46278.
