Virginia "Duckie" James was born on July 26, 1953, to the late Mr. Roland James and Mrs. Lizzie M. James. She passed away on June 25, 2024, at MUSC hospital in Florence, South Carolina.

Virginia attended Battery Park High School, Class of 1972. At an early age, she joined Kennedyville U.M. Church, Nesmith, SC. Later, Virginia joined Trinity Believers Holiness Church where she wore many hats from the Usher Board President to Sunday School Teacher. She was a faithful woman of God and spread his words and love to everyone she encountered.

Virginia was affectionately known as "Duckie" to many, but she also had an umbrella full of titles from grandma, aunt, sister and most importantly mother. Everyone always knew Duckie was the number you called when you were hungry, sad, mad, happy or just needed a listening ear at the moment. Virginia was surrounded by many loved ones until her last breath.
