January 18, 1922 - April 06, 2021
At the ripe old age of 99, Virda Taylor Spurgin left this earth on April 6th, 2021. She was born on January 18, 1922 at the home on the family farm. She was one of six children born to Cora and Howard Taylor. She married Wayne Spurgin during World War II, and together they raised 3 children: Karen, Lynn and Tim.
Virda was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne in 2005, and her son Timothy in 2003. She outlived 3 of her siblings: Bing Taylor, Wilma Morken and James Taylor. And is survived by sisters Loella Womble and Darlene Houston.
She is survived by 5 grandchildren, Jennifer Diaz, Natalie Smalley, Heidi Goodman, Timothy Hildenbrand and Jeff Hildenbrand. She had 13 great grandchildren.
Virda is greatly loved by all her family. She resided over her home place of Turner Road across from Lodi Lake for 65 years. Their home was the centerpiece for 4th of July celebrations that included innumerable friends and family. Watching the fireworks at the lake from her front lawn was a beloved tradition.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Vitas Hospice of San Joaquin County.
Please leave your condolences below.
Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Spurgin family.
