Virginia J. Kassel
Born January 3, 1949, in Milwaukee WI, Virginia Kassel passed away on February 5, 2026. Virginia found great joy in her extended family throughout her life. She and her husband, Tom, owned a computer software business for many years, and she supported him in his endeavors as a philatelic dealer. Later working in retail sales, Virginia retired in 2016 as the Customer Service Manager for Boston Store.
Blessed with a subtle sense of humor, Virginia relished anything related to penguins. She played a skillful hand of sheepshead. An avid reader, she was particularly intrigued by mysteries and historical novels. Accomplished at crochet, she admired all handmade crafts.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Jean Schopp. She is survived by her beloved husband, Thomas, and by brothers, Ronald Schopp (Sharon Collins, Life Partner), and David (Patty) Schopp. She also will be greatly missed by her cherished nieces and nephew, Tracy Greep, Amanda Wojnar and Chris Wojnar, and her honorary stepson, Russ Cordle.
The memory of Virginia’s kind deeds and her gentle laugh will be with us always.
A memorial visitation will be held on Friday, March 6th, from 4-6pm at Heritage Funeral Homes – New Berlin (16880 W. National Ave.). A time of sharing will take place at 6pm.
Attachment
Virginia, was in my life since I was 6 or 7 years old. I spent many weekends staying with them and hanging out at their store on Saturdays. She always took great care of me like I was her own, made my favorite things, bought me thoughtful and fun bday and Xmas gifts and included me in on many fun adventures with she and Tracy and Chris and Mandy. She was grandma to my children and blessed them the same way. ‘Grandma Virginia’ will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
We’re so sorry to hear of Virginia’’s passing. I’m sure she will be missed by all who knew her.. Tom we are keeping you close in heart and thought as you mourn Virginia and her loss to your family.
I remember playing Monopoly in Virginia’s ‘bedroom. Virginia was very good. As kid’s I remember David, Ron, Virginia and Lynda, me and I think Pat walked a long way to some custard place by the Zoo. We cousins always had a great time together. You have our heartfelt sympathy.
