Mrs. Mitsos was born October 27, 1927, in Agalianos, Greece, a daughter of the late John and Vasiliki (Doulaveris) Tsinias.

A homemaker, Virginia also worked alongside her late husband, John, as they owned and operated several family restaurants, most notably, M&P Coney Island, with locations in New Castle and Neshannock Twp.
