She loved her community, but she especially loved her church family at Taylor Baptist Church. She loved family, and when her children were younger, they spent many weekends visiting extended family. One of her favorite pastimes was coffee and long talks with close friends, and she and Jimmy enjoyed many nights of cards and games with neighbors and friends. She also loved listening to the Gaithers and other old time Christian gospel music, and she loved her dogs. Virginia, Jimmy, Chris, and Cindy enjoyed a trip to Hawaii as a family. Jimmy and Virginia enjoyed that trip so much that they went back one more time. Despite her physical limitations later in life, Virginia continued to live a full life enjoying her days without any complaints. Virginia’s life revolved around being the best wife, mother, and friend she could possibly be. Mrs. Maples is survived by her son, Chris Maples of Oxford; her daughter, Cindy Maples of Southaven, MS; three sisters-in-law, Hazel Peeples of Southaven, and Shirley Tatum and Innette Maples, both of Oxford; and a host of nieces and nephews. Mrs. Maples was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Maples; her parents, Floyd Peeples and Mary Francis Peeples; and her brother, Billy Peeples. Donations and memorials in honor of Mrs. Virginia P. Maples may be made to the donor’s choice of the Gideons International (www.gideons.org/donate) or Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (www.mymsaa.org).
