Aloysius and Ann Virant are the parents of Mark Virant '71. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
Aloysius and Ann Virant Aloysius Charles Virant (10/31/1925 - 9/23/2021) & Ann Virant (9/20/1926 - 9/26/2021) Aloysius (Al) and Ann Virant died peacefully in their home after seventy-one years of marriage on September 23, 2021, and September 26, 2021, respectively. They were an amazing couple and devoted and loving spouses, parents, grandparents, and friends. Al was born on October 31,1925 in Elyria, Ohio and served briefly in the Army/Air Force during WWII and later graduated from Xavier University. Al began his career in the insurance business, before moving to Memphis to work for US Rubber Co. (Uniroyal), ultimately settling in Dallas, Texas, where he was the general manager of two Uniroyal locations. Ann was born on September 20, 1926, in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Good Samaritan College of Nursing. Ann enjoyed a long career as a registered nurse, spending 25 wonderful years at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, where she served as the Unit Director of the Newborn Nursery. Ann was a fiercely independent woman and the ultimate caregiver, always putting others before herself. She made everyone she was with feel special, whether you were her child, grandchild, friend, or acquaintance, and she dedicated her retirement years to helping her family in whatever way she could. Al hated obituaries and made the family promise not to tout his "many good deeds and qualities". He just wanted his obituary to say, "he died", and that "he did". But we will cherish many wonderful memories of our time with him. Al is preceded in death by his parents, Aloysius Virant and Frances Kritzel Virant, and three sisters. Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Alpha S. Wright and Helen Brogan Wright, and her younger brother Joseph Wright. Ann is survived by her sister-in-law, Jean Wright. Al and Ann are survived by their children; Mark Virant (Jeanine), Tracy Virant, Sue Wunderlick (George), and Laura Einspanier (Jim), nine grandchildren; Matthew Virant (Colleen), Chris Virant, Steve Virant (Haley), Julie Huerter (Drew), Joe Wunderlick (April), Rebecca Holterhoff (Chris), GJ Wunderlick, Sarah Einspanier, and Andrew Einspanier (Julia), as well as eight great grandchildren. The family would like to thank Patricia Kanebi (a.k.a St. Patricia), Al and Ann's primary caregiver for the past two years, for her love and care. Services will be held on October 22, 2021, at St. Monica Catholic Church, 9333 Midway Road, Dallas, Texas with a visitation at 12 p.m., a rosary at 12:30 p.m., and a funeral Mass at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mary Immaculate Catholic School, 14032 Dennis Lane, Farmers Branch, TX 75234 (www.mischool.org/give) or Cristo Rey Dallas College Prep.,9701 San Leon Ave., Dallas, TX 75217 (http://weblink.donorperfect.com/VirantMemorialFund).
