Virginia Maxine Vohland was born November 8, 1923, to Sherman and Katherine (Swickard) Stuefer on a farm outside of Schuyler, NE. She grew up and received her education in Schuyler graduating from Schuyler High School. Following her graduation, she moved with her family to a farm north of Columbus, NE.

Virginia was united in marriage to Robert Archie Vohland in 1945. The couple farmed in between Shelton and Wood River until 1986 when Archies health failed and he went into a nursing home. Virginia then made her home in Grand Island. She made many new friends with the staff, when she moved to Tiffany Square Care Center. They went above and beyond in the care they provided for her.

Virginia was a member of St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Shelton where she taught Sunday School for many years. After moving to Grand Island she chose to live a very quiet life spending time with only immediate family members and her dog, Rudy.

Survivors include her son, Van L. Vohland of Grand Island; her grandson, Van L. Vohland II of Warner Robins, GA; her granddaughter, Chelsea Taylor of Elkhorn, NE; four great-grandchildren; her sister, Burdean Christ of Grand Island; and twin brothers, Dayle and Gayle Stuefer.

Memorials are suggested to the Central Nebraska Humane Society in Grand Island. She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters and one brother.
