Virginia Rakes Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on September 1, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Virginia Rakes (Charleston, South Carolina), born in Clintwood, Virginia. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

In the vast expanse of eternity, may Virginia find peace everlasting, cradled in the gentle embrace of the universe. And as we stand on the shores of remembrance, may her legacy inspire us to live each day with purpose, passion, and profound gratitude for the gift of life itself.

She was predeceased by: her husband Grover Clayton Rakes; and her parents, Auty Rose and Hattie Rose. She is survived by: her children, Mickey Rakes (Mary) and Angela; her granddaughters, Jenny Fogle (Danny) and Rebecca Kinne (Bobby); and her great grandchildren, Micah Kinne and Evelyn Kinne.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Andrews Parish United Methodist.
