Virginia F. Bedel, age 81 of Batesville, died Thursday, April 16, 2020 at her home. Born September 21, 1938 in Batesville, she is the daughter of Mary Jane (Nee: Kirschbaum) and Vincent Herbert. She married Lawrence Bedel February 2, 1957 at St. Louis Church and he preceded her in death on September 7, 2015. Ginny was a finish inspector for the Union Furniture Company and later at Romweber’s Furniture.
Ginny loved people. She never met a stranger and truly enjoyed talking with people. She did quite a bit of quilting and needlepoint over the years, was a long-suffering Bengals fan and loved working in her flower gardens. Ginny was a good cook and her family will certainly miss her zucchini bread.
She is survived by her daughters Shirley Ellison of Batesville, Cynthia Napier of Versailles, Candy Kennedy of Indianapolis; son Larry Bedel of LaPorte, Texas; sisters Lydia Smith of New Point, Donnalene Holman of Greensburg; brothers Vincent Herbert of Columbus, Indiana, David Herbert of Dillsboro, Indiana; 13 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. In addition to her husband and parents, she is also preceded in death by her brother Dale Herbert.
Due to the Governor’s mandate of gatherings being limited to 10 people, a private graveside service will be held Monday at St. Louis Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Phi Beta Psi Sorority Cancer Research or Operation Find and Feed Ministry and sent to the funeral home in care of the family.
