They had so much fun fooling a lot of people as they were growing up, especially teachers at school. Even as adults, they met every Saturday to go shopping together until Carolyn’s death. Virginia graduated from Will Rogers High School in Tulsa in 1950 and she and Anton Frank Behles married that same year on December 26. The Behles had two sons and two daughters of their own. She was absolutely the best mom the kids could have had. She was feisty and fun and never missed a ball game or school event that they were involved in. Virginia’s mother was a great cook and passed those skills on to her daughter. She began hosting a family dinner every week on Sundays. Everything was made with love from scratch and the kids and grandkids especially loved her homemade rolls and desserts. Birthday lunches were extra special as the family member was able to choose their favorite meal and dessert.
