Virginia E. (Glass) Roth

Virginia (Ginny) enjoyed a long, spry, cheerful life filled with friends and family.  She worked as a cashier well into her 80’s at Smith’s Pharmacy in Claymont and enjoyed daily chats with all her customers, especially those from Sun Oil Co. where her husband worked until the 1970’s.

She lived in Lutheran Knolls in Boothwyn for the past 20 years, enjoyed crafts with friends, and loved to “rock with the ladies on the back porch”.  She actively participated in ceramics and as part of the “kitchen crew”.

Ginny was the matriarch of the family and participated fully in the lives of her 2 children, Robert Glass of Seminole, FL and Phyllis Sperratore of Pot Nets, DE,  6 grandchildren (Robbie, Michael, Barbara, Brian, Katie, and Kevin) and 8 great-children (Alex, Ryan, Noah, Adrienne, Jake, Madison, Nicholas, and Tyler).  Virginia was married to George Albert Glass (Al) and lived in Ridley, raising her family until his death in 1973.

Later in life she married Christian Roth of Essington, who died in 1988, and moved to Claymont.

She was predeceased by her brothers:  Phillip, Edward and Joseph Downey all of Delaware County.

A service in memory will be held at Nottingham Missionary Baptist Church, 303 West Christine Road, Nottingham PA on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. with burial following at Lawn Croft Cemetery. Marcus Hook.  Viewing at the Church from 10 until 11 AM.
