Virginia Vining Miles

Virginia Vining Miles, 82, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on August 26, 2025, at Haven Hospice in Lake City, Florida. Born on May 25, 1943, in Lake City to Fred and Delma Vining, Virginia was a lifelong resident of the community she held so dearly. A proud member of Columbia High School’s Class of 1961, she soon after married Milo D. Miles, with whom she shared 62 years of marriage. Virginia’s greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She was also blessed with a close circle of lifelong friends whom she deeply loved and cherished. Devoting her career to the banking industry, Virginia spent many years with the State Exchange Bank, where she was admired for her warmth, integrity, and unwavering work ethic.

She is survived by her husband, Milo, and their children, Troy Miles (Betsy) and Amy Tompkins (David); her siblings, Patricia Hudson, Freda Flamm, and Fred Vining Jr.; five beloved grandchildren, Madison, Miles, Jordan, Emma, and Grace, and her treasured great-grandson, Henry Johnson. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Shirlene Fletcher of Gainesville.
