Virginia Myers was the daughter of Neal S and Margaret Myers. The school newspaper, The Broadcaster, remembered Virginia as a reliable and generous friend who possessed a refinement that would long be remembered by those who knew her. She belonged to the Latin Club and the Glee Club. She was very gifted in music and played the piano and violin.

In 1929, an article in The Morning Herald tells of Virginia participating in a musicale at the home of Mrs. Ellen Heffner in Williamsport. Virginia belonged to the Harmony Club and participated in plays and operettas. There is a mention of her having broken her arm at school while playing with other students in 1930. Virginia was a Girl Scout and a member of the Lutheran Church.

Virginia was one of fourteen Williamsport High School students who lost their lives when the school bus they were returning from a field trip in collided with an express train at Rockville, MD on the night of April 11, 1935. After the tragedy, the inhabitants of Williamsport gathered donations to build a public library in memory of the students. It still stands and is used to this day.
