Ms. Virginia Smalls Life Reflections

Ms. Virginia Smalls, daughter of the late Jessie and Mary (Mitchum) Smalls, was born on February 27, 1932, in Cross, South Carolina. She gained her heavenly wings on October 22, 2023, at her home.

She grew up in Cross, South Carolina, and attended the public school there while caring for her ailing mother. She became a member of Zion United Methodist Church in Cross, South Carolina at an early age. She moved to New York in the late 1950s and upon arriving in New York, she became a member of the Canaan Baptist Church, in New York City under the leadership of Rev. E. M. Moore.
