Virginia was born to Attilio Cincera and Rose Poncia Cincera on Jan. 15, 1927. Virginia is the loving Mom to Kenny Malnati (deceased); Patricia and Joe Pedrani; Ron and Lupe Malnati. Nonnie to Jamie, Marcello and Lisa, Jolene, Vince and Chyrstyn, Kenneth and Molly, Anthony and Michele. Great Nonnie to Trystan, Brooklyn, Jacob, Charlie and Sawyer.

Sister-in-law to Martha and Al (deceased) Caletti; Alan and Anna (deceased) Cummings, Gene Panizzera, Linda and Frank Tamba, Carlo and Betty Panizzera.
Mom lived her entire life in Petaluma, 75 years on the same property. Mom was the seamstress for the family. she could be seen patching blown out Levis, sewing buttons, and making costumes. During evening hours you could find her crocheting blankets. Many family members and friends are recipients of her handy work.
Mom retired from the Petaluma School District. Every year during the Sonoma Marin Fair, Mom volunteered helping judge bake goods and preserves.
Mom's greatest accomplishment in life was being a wife, mom, mother-in-law, and Nonnie. She was always there for each and every one of us, she was our rock.
Mom will be missed by her many nieces, nephews, cousins, her large Italian Family and her many friends.
