Posted at Find-A-Grave.com: Virginia Price Giles died February 29, 2000 after an extended illness.

She graduated from Classen High School in 1930. Her parents sent her to four colleges in four years in order to experience all regions of the United States. She earned her B.A. from Mills College, Oakland, California in 1934. In the fall of 1934, she made her debut, presented by The Oklahoma Club. Virginia married Joel Scott Price, M.D., on September 17, 1935, and they had four children: Bob, Montine, Kelsey and Bill. Virginia and Dr. Price were together until his death in 1975. In 1977,Virginia married Lawrence T. Giles. Mr. Giles died in 1989. Virginia was devoted to her family and her community. She was President of the Pi Beta Phi Oklahoma City Alumnae Club and Edge Mere School PTA, as well as the founder of the first Mills College alumnae Club in Oklahoma. She raised money for the then newly-formed YMCA and YWCA and won prizes for ticket sales to the Junior League of Oklahoma City Horse Shows. She was proud of her work steering the finance committee for the first BeauxArts Ball benefiting the Oklahoma City Arts Center. In addition, Virginia was active in the building campaign for Westminster Presbyterian Church, as well as fundraising for Christ the King. Later in life, Virginia focused her attention and financial acumen on learning the family oil and gas business begun by Dr. Price. She learned to play duplicate bridge while in her seventies and found pleasure in keeping her mind active. Virginia's interests, however, never changed when it came to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her family was her greatest joy. She encouraged and supported them with her generosity in every endeavor. She enjoyed taking her grandchildren on ocean cruises, having learned the value of such experience from her extensive world travels with Dr. Price.
