Obituary

MADISON – Mary M. Hill, age 99, passed away and reunited with her deceased loved ones on February 22, 2023. Mary was born on May 17, 1923 to William and Alvina (Siepker) Langkamp in a log cabin in Harrison Township. She attended a one room grade school and later graduated from St. Andrew’s High School in Tennyson in 1940. In 1941, she relocated to Madison with her cousins to work as a maid and later working at Oscar Mayer. Mary met and married the father of her nine children, Benjamin Virgin on January 11, 1943. Mary had many occupations including volunteering at Nesco for 15 years, driving for RSVP, nursing at Karmenta, and working at Central Colony for 14 years. After Ben passed, Mary married Richard Hill in September of 1972. Mary enjoyed crocheting, knitting (hats for newborns), and especially spending time with her children and grandchildren.

Mary is survived by her children, Carolyn (Mark) Paus, Gary Benson, Bruce (Lynn) Virgin, Glenn (Colleen) Virgin, Diane Virgin, Kevin (Stephanie) Baum, and Brian (Kathy) Virgin; 20 grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren; 7 great-great grandchildren; and 1 great-great-great grandchild. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other family and friends. She was preceded in death by husbands; son Kurt Virgin; daughter Cecilia Gollman; granddaughter Linda; sisters Dorothy Reed, Bernadine Ballweg, and Catherine Koeller; and her brothers Bernard, Raymond, LeRoy, Francis, and Lawrence.

A special thank you to ADRC and NewBridge, healthcare people involved in keeping her comfortable, and to the folks at St. Peter Catholic Church for their rides as needed and their companionship.

By mutual agreement Aunt Mary was my "Mom" for the last seven years after her sister Dorothy passed away. I truly treasure all the time I had with her during those years. She will be dearly missed! Thoughts and prayers for all my cousins and all who are mourning at this time. Rest now in peace, Aunt Mary! Love to all, Cathy & Mike
