My wife the beloved of my heart died shortly after midnight on July 15,2020. We had been married 51 years and two months. She has been critically ill and endured much over a period of over 15 years. She suffered from primary sclerosing cholangitis a terminal liver condition, hereditary spherocytosis, bullous pemphigoid and cicatricial pemphigoid, ulcerative colitis. Gluten sensitive enteropathy, blindness resulting from a couple of these conditions, myoclonic epilepsy, and dermatitis herpetiformis.
She is now resting in peace and in our god Jehovah’s memory waiting to be resurrected to the paradise on earth where she will have the opportunity to live in peace and happiness forever. I will be reunited with my beloved there when I die.
My wife is survived by me her husband Adolf Grabotin and two sons Conley Grabotin and Richard Grabotin and one grandson Christopher Sykes.
My wife was adopted when she was an infant child by her loving adoptive parents Wayne & Helen Hathaway.
Virginia enjoyed trips to the Oregon coast, hiking in the mountains, reading, quilting and her cats and rabbits along with other small critters.
I can no longer see her with my eyes, touch her with my hands, but I will feel her in my heart forever.
I knew Virginia her whole life. She was a much loved cousin, loyal friend, and confidant. It was always a much anticipated event when she and her Mom and Dad came to visit us on the farm. I have such good memories of us doing things together for many years. She was so special to me and I will miss her the rest of my life. I love you, Virginia.
I am very sorry to hear about my cousin, Virginia. She was the much loved daughter of my Aunt Helen. I have good memories of her from babyhood on spending time with our family. Thank you Adolf for watching out for her for many years.
Virginia was a long time friend and devoted Christian sister.I will miss her warm smile,love and infectious laugh.My heartfelt prayers are for her family as they go on without her.We all look forward to the day we will be united once again as Jehovah has promised in His word,the Bible.
