Virginia was born on May 8, 1940, in Emerson, Nebraska, the daughter of William and Tillie (Londborg) Bonderson. Virginia attended grade school and high school in Emerson, Nebraska and then attended Midland College in Fremont, Nebraska. On April 11, 1959, Virginia was united in marriage to Ronald G. Alexander in Emerson, Nebraska. The couple made their home in North Carolina, where Ginny worked for Blue Cross/Blue Shield until the couple moved to Chicago in 1960 and Ginny worked as the head secretary for the Board of American Missions, with the United Lutheran Church in America. In 1966 the couple moved to Waverly, Iowa, and Ginny worked for a short time for Redeemer Lutheran Church before going back to school and receiving her B.A. Degree from Wartburg College in 1975 and her M.A. from U.N.I in 1976. Ginny then worked as a school psychologist for Area Education Agency 7 in the Cedar Falls area from 1977 until she retired in 2002.
Virginia was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Waverly and a member of N.A.S.P. Ginny enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, reading and her book clubs. In 1981, Ginny and Ron built a cabin near Glen Haven, Colorado, and would enjoy going there to relax with family and friends.
