Virginia K. Baxa; Manhattan
March 08, 1955 - February 01, 2021
Virginia Kay Baxa was born on March 8, 1955 in Beloit, KS. She departed this life on February 1, 2021 at the age of 65.
Virginia was the first-born child of Jerome and Velora Kay Boden. She spent her early childhood years in Solomon Rapids. She attended Solomon Rapids country school until the fifth grade, when she moved to St Johns School in Beloit, where she graduated in 1973.
She then attended Beloit Vocational/Technical School and earned a degree in practical nursing. It was there she met the love of her life, Daniel Baxa. Married in 1974, they spent 38 happy years together, until Dan’s untimely death in 2012. In 2013, she moved to Wamego, KS to live with her daughter Amy and her family until her passing.
Virginia never met a stranger. She always had a kind word for anyone, and an empathic nature that helped countless people in her travels. Virginia had a servant heart, whether it was her Waconda Healing practice where she touched so many or lending an ear to listen to someone’s life story. For over 38 years, you could always find Virginia and her family at Waconda Lake almost every weekend.
Virginia leaves behind 5 children: Amy Schwein and her husband Eric of Wamego, Jason (Jake) Baxa of Beloit, Luke Baxa and his Wife Erin of Kingman, KS, Jerrod Baxa and Catrina Wilson of Beloit, and Levi Baxa of Salina. Grandchildren Gwendolyn, Emily, Carter, Glen, Henry, Owen, Daniel, and Cecilia. Her brothers Don, Ron, and Larry Boden. Her sisters Karlene Baxa and Theresa Anderson, and her mother-in-law Theresa Baxa. She was preceded in death by her parents Jerome and Kay, husband Dan and father-in-law Alfonso.
“Oh Virginia,” she was one of a kind.
