Ms. Virginia Loring Belote, lovingly known as Ginny by her family, passed away peacefully on Dec. 27, 2024, at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — Wilkes Medical Center, surrounded by her loved ones. She was 96 years old.
Ginny was born on May 17, 1928, in Exmore, to Upsher Quinby Belote and Edna Seaman Belote. She was preceded in death by her parents and her only brother, Robert Scott Belote Sr.
Left to cherish her memory are her sister-in-law, Charlotte B. Belote, of Wilkesboro, N.C.; her nephews, Robert Scott Belote Jr. and wife, Beth, of North Wilkesboro, N.C., and David Upsher Belote and fiancée, Barbara Dallmer, of Wilmington, N.C.; and her niece, Pamela Ann Belote, of Wilkesboro.

A proud graduate of Onancock High School in 1945, Ginny worked in the banking industry for over 40 years, from which she retired. Ginny moved to Wilkesboro from Parksley in May 2016, where she enjoyed the warmth and companionship of her family and the many friends she made at Rose Glen Village.
Ginny was an active member of Market Street United Methodist Church in Onancock, where she found both spiritual solace and community. She was known for her kindness, gentle spirit, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her presence will be greatly missed, but her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025, at Rose Glen Village at 2 p.m. A memorial service will be held on the Eastern Shore of Virginia at a later date.
