Virgie grew up on the family farm near Buckman, MN. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Lawrence M. Litke of Pierz, on February 14, 1961. Virgie followed Larry back to Fort Bragg in South Carolina, and lived there until Larry's discharge. They returned to the Pierz area for a short time following Larry's discharge, then moved to Blaine where they raised their two sons, Paul and Jeffery. Virgie retired from Woolworths in 1994, and the couple moved to the family cabin on Sullivan Lake. She loved watching the sunrise and sunsets at the lake, and really loved sitting on the deck watching the great-grandchildren play. She spent winters in Arizona, and summers at Sullivan Lake surrounded by family and friends. Virginia moved to Little Falls to be with family in 2020. She loved visiting with friends and family, traveling, setting puzzles, and playing cards. She will be deeply missed by all. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Paul (Karen) Litke of Little Falls, and Jeffery (Mary) Litke of Pierz; grandchildren, Richard (Jena) Litke, Michael Litke, Kaitlin Litke, Jordan Litke, Daniel (Shelby Gilbreath) Litke, and Samantha (Mike) Bowman; great-grandchildren, Devon, Prudence, Parker, Breckan, and Blaze; siblings, Jimmy (Peggy) Juetten, Betty Miller, Larry (Myrna) Juetten, Herb Juetten, and Diane (Jerry) Lasser; along with many nieces and nephews. Virginia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Larry; parents, Nick and Leona Juetten; sisters-in-law, Nancy Juetten, Sharon and Jeanette Litke; brothers-in-law, Ronald, Jake, Melvin Litke, and Fred Miller.
