Virginia C. Hubbard Baird

In Loving Memory Virginia Crystal Hubbard Baird Our mother, Virginia Crystal Hubbard Baird, went to Heaven, April 4, 2014. We are sure there was applause, and shouts of joy as she entered into the gates of Heaven with her Father, Mother, Son and other siblings to greet her with open arms. Mom had fought the good fight here on earth for the last three years against MRSA infection and finally Parkinson’s. The MRSA was supposed to take her, but the Lord saw differently, and then she finally succumbed to the after-effects of a fall due to Parkinson’s. Mother had an unwavering faith in God, love for her sisters, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, church and church friends. She was a member of The McMinnville Church on the Hill (Nazarene Church) since 1965. The Sheridan Church of the Nazarene was started in the home of Virginia and Cecil Baird and she was a charter member of that church. Virginia was born on January 20, 1924 in Yamhill, OR to Roy and Crystal Hubbard. She graduated from Willamina high school and proceeded to work for what is now Hampton Lumber Mill during WWII, then later worked for Champion Plywood Mill. During this time she met and married Cecil Baird of Sheridan, OR. They moved to Sheridan where he was a sawdust chip driver. David, Dennis and Susan were born while they were in Sheridan and Virginia worked in the kitchen at Chapman Grade School as Asst. Cook. They then moved to Carlton and Virginia went to work for Newberg Realty and Bill Page Construction running their offices to support the home and her three children. Virginia is survived by two children, David Baird (wife Connie) of Centralia, WA; Susan Baird of Newberg, OR whom Virginia lived with. She was predeceased in death by her son Dennis Baird in 2000 from cancer and one great-grandchild Kyler Baird in 2001. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren with twins on the way. A Funeral Service to celebrate Virginia’s life and home going will be held Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. at The Church on the Hill, 700 North Hill Road, McMinnville, OR. A fellowship time with family and friends of Virginia will follow at the church with finger foods and beverages. Private Interment at Pike Cemetery in Yamhill, OR.
