Virginia Carden
December 12, 1927 — September 13, 2020
Virginia Jo Carden, 92, of South Bend, Indiana, went home to meet her Savior Jesus in the
early morning hours of September 13, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband of 65
years, Harold Dwain Carden, and two of her four sons; Guy Carden of Franklin Tennessee (his
widow, Linda Carden survives), and Dennis Carden of Nolensville, TN (his widow Melanie
survives), great granddaughter Trinity (daughter of Tammy and William Ridley), and her sister
Sue Willis (Kissimmee, Florida). Virginia is survived by her sons, Barry Carden and his wife Vanessa of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tony Carden and his wife Karen of Wakarusa, Indiana; 20 grandchildren and their spouses, and 25 great grandchildren. Virginia married her high school sweetheart, Dwain Carden on April 19, 1947. She was a longtime member and employee of Christian Center Church (Ireland Road, South Bend IN). She loved the Lord with all her heart and soul, and took great delight in His service. She was a skilled traditional southern cook, a talent that came in handy raising four perpetually hungry sons. Generations grew up on her fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, and green jello salad. Though rooted in the south, "Jo" enjoyed travel, including a trip to Paris and Morocco, and frequent visits to her sister Sue. She was a true Matriarch, and loved her family dearly despite the differences in geography. Memorial services will be held at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home, 3300 Columbia Avenue, Franklin, Tennessee. Funeral service will be held 2:00PM Thursday, September 17, 2020 with visitation one hour prior to the service at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home. Burial will follow in Williamson Memorial Gardens. Memorial Contributions can be made to Christian Center
Church, 530 East Ireland Road, South Bend, IN 46614. WILLIAMSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 615-794-2289. www.williamsonmemorial.com
