Chece of Atlantic Highlands, NJ, David P. Chece and Paul A. Chece both of Lincoln, RI. She was the mother of the late David P. Chece.

Virginia was treasured by her 27 nieces and nephews. Virginia was the youngest of four children by the late Charles and Anna Danz of CT. She is survived by her brother John Danz of Arco, Idaho. She was the sister of the late Charles and Frederick Danz. Virginia was a kind, loving, and caring wife. She was a beloved mother, aunt, grandmother and friend. She truly enjoyed living life to the fullest, and to be around her children and grandchildren especially during the holidays. She could often be heard playing Frankie and Johnnie or Christmas Carols on the organ. Music was a big part of her soul, as was her lifelong love Pasco. The world lost a tremendous person and heaven gained another angel. Ginny will be missed by all.
