Virginia “Jimmy” was raised in Florida and later lived in Statesville, North Carolina where she raised and loved her two sons, Gary (Jane) and Jimmy Duncan.   Virginia is survived by her loving husband of 35 years, Addison (Ad) Addington, her devoted caregiver as she battled dementia during recent years.
