Mrs. Hacker was a retired seamstress. When her children were young, she was active in both the girl scouts and boy scouts supporting her children. As her husband was in the military and they moved all over the United States, they would be active in their church wherever they were based. She served as Sunday School Superintendent in several churches they attended. In later years, she and her husband went back to college and became Emergency Medical Techs. They served on a volunteer ambulance in the small town where they lived. Being an EMT gave Virgie a great deal of fulfillment.
