PORTLAND--Virginia Hope Briggs (nee: Moody) was born March 5, 1930 in Perham, Maine. She left this world on September 22, 2021 at age 91. She married Scott Briggs on November 27, 1969, and was married for 48 years before Scott's death in 2018.
Together they lived in Windham, ME where she worked as a housekeeper at the Holiday Inn and as a housewife after that.

She is survived by step-son Jeffrey Briggs (wife Laura), four grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and many nieces.

The family thanks you all!

The last time I spoke with Virginia was September 21st. She said to me: “I am not sick” “do not worry about me I am fine” “I love you Debbie” I will remember her words and her tender squeeze. She is at peace now.

One of the last times I was able to break Virginia away we escaped to the Eastern Prom. but not before I stopped and purchased both of us a pint of butter Pecan ice cream. I brought the spoons ! We sat for the longest time eating our ice cream and watching the boats. Such simple things she enjoyed. As the pandemic closed in on us I was able to go outside the window of her room. we would make faces at each other and laugh. Good days shared. Thank you Virginia. I miss you ! Deb
