Moss-Newhall, Virginia M. (Pruitt), 88, passed away peacefully Wednesday, May 16, 2018. As a beloved wife of Kenneth Newhall for 29 years they enjoyed the outdoors, camping in Maine and traveling. Family meant so much to Virginia. She was a devoted mother to Thomas Moss and wife, Donna, the late Gary Moss and wife, Margaret, and Karen Krueger and husband Keith, grandmother to Jenn and Michelle Moss, Julie West and Katie Krueger and great-grandmother to Eliza West. She was the beloved sister of John Pruitt and wife Patt. Virginia was predeceased by her first husband of 24 years, Commander Daniel Moss of the U.S. Navy.
