Virginia Rose Brogden

Virginia Rose Brogden, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in Burleson, Texas, on May 24, 2026, at the age of 89. Born on November 24, 1936, in Wood County, Texas, Virginia lived a life marked by love, family, and faith.

Virginia dedicated her life to being a devoted homemaker, creating a warm and nurturing environment for her children: daughter Shelli Williamson and her husband, Kenny; and sons Jeff Brogden and his wife, Deanna, and Johnny Ray Ingram and his wife, Maria. She was the cherished grandmother of seven grandchildren: Aaron, David, Jarrod (Lauren), Scott, Brant (Meagan), Cord (Kayna), and Bree (Kevin); and the proud great-grandmother of 14 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Each of her descendants carried a part of her loving spirit, ensuring her legacy would thrive through the generations.

A faithful member of First Baptist Church in Quitman and later Grace Fellowship in Winnsboro, Virginia found great joy in her church community. Her passion for music led her to sing in the First Baptist Church choir, a role she cherished deeply. Even as her health declined and she could no longer attend services in person, Virginia remained connected to her faith by watching online. She often volunteered with various church programs, embodying the spirit of service and generosity.
Virginia spent 6 years at Advanced Rehabilitation and Healthcare in Burleson Tx, where she helped many of the residents- helping them cut up there food, sharing her food and drinks, helping dot bingo cards and traveling throughout the building to hand out daily devotionals, and blank prayer requests cards and then gathering the requests to give to the visiting church members and pastors. She spent many hours a day helping those that could not help themselves and less fortunate. She made us aware if someone needed a new pair of gloves ... or a warm hat...a new shirt... sharing her candy and treats. Right up until she fell gravely ill this January.

Virginia was also an avid lover of antiques, spending many cherished years owning and operating the Second Hand Rose antique shop, where her finds often sparked joy and conversation among family and friends.

A visitation will be held on May 30, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. at Beaty Funeral Home Chapel in Winnsboro, followed by a funeral service at 1:00 p.m. Friends, family, and loved ones are invited to gather to honor her life and share memories. In accordance with Virginia's wishes, she will be laid to rest at Hopewell Cemetery in Winnsboro, where her parents, grandparents, and many other family members are buried.

Virginia Rose Brogden will be dearly missed, but her warm spirit, unwavering faith, and deep love for her family will endure in the hearts of all who knew her. As we say our goodbyes, we celebrate the life of a remarkable woman who brought light to every room she entered.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, James (J.D.) and Catherine Ingram, and her brother, Junior D. Ingram.
