Virginia Adeline Fogelberg, nee Toebaas, passed away peacefully at age 102 on July 25th, 2026 in Corpus Christi, Texas. "Ginny" was born in 1923 to Oviatt and Othelia "Tilly" Toebaas and raised on the Toebaas farm outside of Iola, Wisconsin. After graduation from Iola High in 1941 she worked as a sales clerk in Chicago and graduated from the Norwegian American Hospital School of Nursing as an RN in 1946.

She traveled with the Polio Foundation during the epidemic from 1949 through 1951 caring for victims prior to the development of the Salk Vaccine.

After the Polio campaign Ginny entered the US Air Force as a nurse, stationed at Chanute Air Force Base Hospital in Illinois. There she met patient Lt. Tenny Fogelberg who had been seriously wounded in an aircraft crash during a combat mission in the Korean Conflict. After several years at the hospital Ginny and Tenny left the Air Force and got married in 1955.

The Fogelbergs then moved to Los Angeles where they raised two children: daughter Diane was born in 1958 and son Jack in 1959. Ginny ran the household, and volunteered for the PTA, Girl Scouts, and Cub Scouts. She also volunteered as a school nurse and then in 1975 she returned to professional nursing.

Upon retirement in 1987 they settled in Iola, spending the first years remodeling the Toebaas home and wintering in Brownsville, Texas. Ginny enjoyed golf, cooking, entertaining friends, watching the Packers, and visits with the grandchildren. She was a member of the Glacier Wood Golf Club, the Iola Historical Society, and the American Legion.

After Tenny passed in 2020 at age 95, Ginny moved from Iola to her daughter's home in Ricardo, Texas.

Preceding Ginny in death was brother Loren. Surviving are daughter Diane (Tim) Robertson, son Jack, granddaughter Genna Fogelberg, grandsons Brian and Mark (Laura Marquez) Robertson and Sean Fogelberg, great-granddaughters Lilliana and Veronica Robertson, and numerous nieces and nephews.
