Virginia Wills, age 96, passed away on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at Centerpoint Health in Winchester, Kentucky. She was born on Saturday, March 29, 1930, in Owensboro, Kentucky, to the late William Preston Nolan, Sr., and the late Celia Howell Nolan. Virginia was deeply committed to her community, radiating genuine passion in all her endeavors. She served as the Director of the Powell County Middle School Youth Service Center, where she dedicated herself to making a positive impact on local youth. Prior to this role, Virginia worked as a clerk at Clark Rural Electric, where her contributions improved community services. In her capacity as the Director of Kentucky River Foothills, she played a pivotal role in establishing the Powell County Senior Citizens' Center, providing invaluable resources and support to the area's elderly residents. Virginia's commitment to public service extended to her tenure as a two-term City Councilwoman in Stanton, and she also served as Mayor, demonstrating her leadership and dedication to her town. She also had an entrepreneurial spirit; as she once operated a successful trucking company that transported goods across the country. Virginia's love for the land was evident in the way she took care of her farm, nurturing it with the same dedication she showed to her community. Above all, she cherished her family, finding joy in spending time with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even her great-great-grandchildren. Each moment shared with them was a treasure, reflecting her deep love and commitment to family values. In addition to her parents, Virginia is preceded in death by five brothers: Glen Nolan, Ralph Nolan, Berley Nolan, Willie Nolan, and William Preston Nolan, Jr.; and two sisters: Wynona Blythe and Mable Smith. She is survived by one son, Wayne Lee Abner of Hazard; one daughter, Tamra Mastin of Stanton; two sisters: Shirley (Henry, Jr.) Ashley and Judy (J.W.) Stephens, both of Stanton; four grandchildren: John Wayne Abner, Daniel Eugene (Kendra) Abner, Rebecca (Marvin) Berryman, and Justin Mastin; five great-grandchildren: Tyler (Taylor) Mastin, Taylor Berryman, Wade Mastin, Kimbrell Abner, and Kennedy Abner; and two great-great-grandchildren.
