Fresno Bee, The (CA) - Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Virginia Shelor Decker, age 88, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 2, 2013, after four months of failing health. Virginia was born in Lansdale, Pa. She was the daughter of a Nazarene Church Pastor. After a few moves, the family eventually settled in Aberdeen, SD. Following her high school graduation, she moved to Omaha, Ne., but soon returned to Aberdeen to help care for her ailing father, a trait she would exemplify her entire life. While in Aberdeen, Virginia snuck off to a dance, up till then prohibited by her father, and met Wayne Decker, who being stationed in the United States Military, at California's Fort Ord, was home on a short visit. After corresponding for a year, a proposal and engagement ring arrived by mail, and in 1945, they were married. That marriage would last 56 years, until Wayne's death in 2001. Virginia loved playing golf at Sunnyside Country Club, where she and Wayne made life-long friends throughout their 40 plus years of membership. She won her fair share of trophies, at her best when the stakes were the highest. Virginia was an outstanding cook and liked nothing better than having the entire family around her. Virginia was a loving and devoted mother to her three children, Marcie Morgenstern and her husband Bill, Gary Decker and his wife Meredith, and Brian Decker and his wife Becky. Always there when needed, she would later become Mimi to grandchildren, Jeff Morgenstern, Amy Myers, Rachel Decker, and Megan and Shelby Decker; and great-grandchildren, Maya and Jackson Morgenstern and Hannah Myers. Rarely was there a weekend where she didn't call to insist on a night out so she and Wayne could babysit and spoil the grandkids. She is also survived by her sister, Edna Judy of Prairie City, SD. A Celebration of Virginia's Life will be held at Northwest Church, 5415 N. West Ave., on Saturday, June 8, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the First Tee of Fresno junior golf program, 7492 N. Bryan, Fresno, Ca. 93722; or the donor's favorite. Farewell, 660 West Locust Avenue, Fresno, California (559)440-0484

Following their marriage, they both enrolled in Marion College, the Wesleyan Church school and continued until Jim's graduation in 1947.

They both have families and reside in California.
Edna served as District President of the Ladies Missionary Society and gave leadership to the music department in all the years of their ministry.

Following Jim's retirement in 1995, Jim and Edna moved to Bison, SD, and began typing community news for the Bison Courier.

They moved to the Tim Brixey place and later moved a trailer house to the Judy Homestead near Prairie City. Edna was a member of the Prairie City Wesleyan Church where she was church organist for many years.
