Virgina Elaine Croasmun

Virginia Elaine (Bonifay) Croasmun, age 98, passed away on November 9, 2026.

Born on July 7, 1928 to Aubrey and Anna Bonifay, she grew up in Akron, Ohio, where she graduated from Central High School. She married her childhood sweetheart, Richard (Dick) Croasmun in 1948. They had one child, Richard (Rick), whom she adored.

Virginia possessed a lifelong love of music, which became an important part of her career. She worked at the Akron Summit County Public Library, where she managed the Music LP Department. She was an avid reader as well, with Gone as the Wind as one of her favorites.

Her greatest passion in life was her family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was always there to listen, encourage, and offer words of wisdom. Friends and neighbors express how often she spoke proudly of her family, sharing their accomplishments and good news.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Richard T., and her brother, William Bonifay.

She is survived by her son, Richard W. (Janice); grandchildren, Melissa (Jason) Melanie (Brian) and Marc; her great-grandchildren, Jacob (Paige), Alexandra, Anthony, Sarah, and Tobias. Also survived by her sister Brenda (Gary).

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation and gratitude to the staff of Canton Christian Home and Advantage Hospice Co. for the excellent care, kindness, and compassion shown to Virginia in the last chapter of her life.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Autism Society of Greater Akron can be made in Virginia’s name. 

Visitation will be held on Saturday November 21,2026 from 11:00am-1:00pm with a service at 1:00pm.
