Virginia (Daniels) Caldwell of Thorntown passed away July 22, 2022, at the age of 81. She was born August 1, 1940, at Middlefork, Indiana. Her parents were the late Roy and Margaret (Kanable) Daniels. She graduated from Thorntown High School in 1958. She married Lelan “Red” Caldwell on July 19, 1959. They were married 57 years prior to his death in 2017. Virginia worked at Federal Mogul in Frankfort, Indiana and retired after 33 years. Virginia was a very caring person who loved taking care of everyone and everything. This included two crazy, slightly evil stray cats. Virginia enjoyed her family, baking, and sewing. She was also full of sass and vinegar. She stayed sassy right up to the end. This sass is a strong genetic trait as it has been carried on to her daughters and granddaughters. She taught us well. She is survived by her children.
