Virginia Holstein
August 8, 1941 - April 12, 2026
Virginia Ann (Pottkotter) Holstein of Hamilton, OH passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at the age of 84.
"Jinny" was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, friend and wife of over 63 years to her devoted husband, Ronald Holstein. Together they built a life centered on love, faith and unwavering support. She will be remembered for her kind heart and contagious laugh.
Jinny found happiness in life's simple pleasures-playing piano, admiring cardinals, telling jokes, playing card games, cheering on college basketball, baking and working on crossword puzzles. She was a proud mother to Lynn Peck (Jack) and Todd (Kim) and grandmother to Shelbi, Ryan, Evan and Brandon. She leaves behind 5 brothers and sisters, Mary Wagner, Connie Brandon, Terry, Ken and Tom Pottkotter whom she loved dearly. Jinny was a member of the Red Hat Society and loved spending time with her friends.
She leaves behind a legacy of love that will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A Memorial Mass will be Thursday April 23, 2026 at 10:00am, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 400 Nilles Rd. Fairfield, OH 45014 with Father David Sunberg, Celebrant.
