In 1947 she married her beloved husband, Joseph F. Salamone and together they shared more than 65 wonderful years of marriage until his passing in 2013. In 1971, they settled in River Edge, where Virginia built a warm and loving home surrounded by family and friends.

DeGeorge and her husband Anthony. Virginia is the devoted grandmother to Christine Salamone, Cindy Salamone, Paul Salamone, Anthony DeGeorge Jr., and Brian DeGeorge and his wife Samantha.
