Bingo master carries on while wife still missing
The Daily Leader
On Thursday, Feb. 28, Virginia Ratliff, 83, set off behind the wheel of a car - for only one of a few times in five or six years, due to bouts with dementia - toward Jackson to see her husband in the G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, where he was staying for problems with his gastrointestinal tract. She hasn't been seen or heard from since.
"My wife gathered up two of my jackets, my electric razor, my slippers - she was gonna bring them to me," Ratliff said. "But she never did get there. All that's missing now. That's kind of my life."
