Ursula was a graduate of Buckingham County High School, in Buckingham, VA. She earned a bachelor of arts degree in history from the University of Virginia and a master of science degree in information sciences from the University of Tennessee. After stints at Friendly’s Restaurant and Best Products, she worked at Acme Visible Records in Crozet, VA, and the University of Virginia library in Charlottesville, mostly in government documents. She worked for 12 years at Silverchair Information Systems and rose to be manager of custom publishing platform content.
After moving to Vermont to be closer to her family, she continued to work as a contractor for Silverchair. She worked seasonally for the MooVER, Green Mountain Express, Mount Snow, and recently at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. While living in Wardsboro, she wanted to contribute to her community and took local offices as justice of the peace, cemetery commissioner, and lister as well as administering a local initiative to fly American flags throughout town.
Ursula was meticulous and precise and held others to the same high standards. She was always aware of and knowledgeable about the world around her. She enjoyed sharing facts and opinions with others and was active on social media. She showered her late dachshunds Buck and Gracie and family dachshunds Senji and Deuce with affection. She loved feeding birds, squirrels, and chipmunks and observing animals and plants in nature.
While living in Charlottesville and Staunton, she was active in No Shame Theater. Everywhere she went she made lifelong friends. Especially important were those she worked with at Silverchair. In 2013 she was proud to complete the Richmond Marathon after training with her friends. Other interests included reading, listening to music - especially favorites Dwight Yoakam, Social Distortion, Eric Church, and the Ramones - taking photographs, playing card and board games - especially cribbage - and going for drives and walks with her family.
