Vi was very adventurous and continued bowling and skiing well into her golden years. She was an avid sports fans supporting all of the DC teams and rarely missed watching a game. A member of Dale City Baptist Church for many years and very strong in her faith, Vi has rejoined her loving husband of 64 years, George Thomas Owens who preceded her in death in 2016.  She is also preceded in death by her parents, Earl & Vivian Edgley and her brother, Kenneth Edgley.
