Bio
Virginia Mae Ness, 90, of Billings passed away at St. Vincent Healthcare on March 9, 2017. Her husband, Elwin, was waiting for her with a big hug and a kiss. She was born the daughter of Mae and Robert Cornell on July 18, 1926 in Billings. Virginia met the love of her life, Elwin Ness, when she was 10 years old and he was 11. They married in Billings on Sept. 14, 1946. They were married for 68 years when Elwin passed away in July of 2015. Virginia and Elwin had three sons Robert, DeWayne and Gregory. Virginia worked at Sears, managed Sage Towers and Rose Park Apartments before becoming a homemaker. She enjoyed square-dancing, bowling, playing cards, baking and family dinners. She also enjoyed being the “cook” at the hunting camp with her “boys” and at the “Police Cabin” on the Stillwater outside of Absarokee. She was known for her chocolate cake with fudge frosting and homemade chicken and noodles. She also enjoyed watching her grandkids participate in sporting events. Most of all, her greatest joy was being with family and friends. Virginia is survived by her sons DeWayne (Cindy) Ness and Gregory Ness; grandchildren Rochelle Ness, Jeremy Ness, Tamera (Rich)Walter, Chad (Anita) Ness, Allan (Sara) Ness and David (Holly) Ness; six great- grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; sister Sharon Mai; many nieces and nephews; and her “animals” Chelsea and Miss Priss. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband Elwin Ness; parents Mae and Robert Cornell; her eldest son Robert Ness; sister Jean Bornes; and brother Robert Cornell Jr. The family would like to thank Dr. Tom James and the nurses at St. Vincent Healthcare who kept her comfortable during her final hours. A private family gathering will take place at a later date.
