Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Virgil Grout was born at home in Hubbard, Oregon, on May 24, 1936, the youngest of 11 children. He passed away at the age of 89, the last of his siblings.
As a boy, he cherished memories of his family’s three years living in an Army tent while building their home in Grande Ronde. It was there he met the love of his life, Carol Ann. They shared nearly 50 years of marriage, raising two daughters, Cindy and Connie, in Grass Valley.
Virgil proudly served in the Army during the Korean War before beginning a long career with Mid-Columbia Grain Growers, where he worked nearly 40 years. Known for his generosity, he often shared Carol Ann’s — and later his own — famous cinnamon rolls with the harvest crews.
He loved hunting, crabbing, and most of all, time with family. He is survived by his daughters Cindy (Martin) Monsey and Connie (Larry) VanEpps; six grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
Virgil will be remembered for his hearty laugh, kind spirit, and faithful service at Grass Valley Baptist Church—where he never failed to greet others with a smile and a sucker for the little ones.
Now reunited with Carol Ann, he will be deeply missed and forever loved.
