Virginia was born on July 26, 1925 in Milwaukee to John and Anna (nee Strahanowski) Budish.

She worked at various jobs throughout the Milwaukee area including laundry supervisor and a payroll clerk. She was a former member of St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church and St. Mary's Catholic Church in Hales Corners.
