Virginia Arnold Greene, 85, died Monday, February 21, 2022 knowing in her heart that she was loved by all who knew her. She was the daughter of the late James E. and Velma Davis. She was preceded in death by her first husband, James T. Arnold, owner of Greene's Pharmacy, in 2001. Virginia was executive secretary for the Dean of the UK College of Pharmacy while her husband was in Pharmacy School. Upon returning to Owensboro, she helped in the family pharmacy, where she was known for her holiday open houses, and also as a homemaker, gardener, baseball mom and bridge player extraordinaire.

They enjoyed many travels around the world together and also enjoyed spending fall and winter in Ft. Lauderdale. She and Glenn formed the R. Glenn and Virginia Greene lectureship in cardiology at Vanderbilt Medical School, Dr. R. Glenn Greene and Virginia Directorship of Cardiology held by Dr. Ben Byrd, and Dr. R.
