The dedication will take place tomorrow, Saturday, July 18th at 2 PM at the corner of Lewis and Hanna Streets.<\/p>\n<p>Paddock and Butler will both unveil the sign at the corner of Lewis and Hanna Streets and formally dedicate the &#8220;Miss Virginia&#8221; Schrantz Memorial Way tomorrow at 2 PM.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Schrantz was often referred to as the Mother Theresa of Fort Wayne.  She opened her home and clothed and fed needy neighbors and many strangers.  She was a selfless advocate for the poor, and she helped anyone who was in need.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miss Virginia,&#8221; as she was known throughout the community, was a caring individual who helped hundreds of people prior to her death in the 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Debra Butler had approached Geoff Paddock to assist in having the Board of Public Works dedicate a four block portion of Lewis Street as the:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;MISS VIRGINIA&#8221; SHRANTZ MEMORIAL WAY.  The city donated both signs.<\/p>\n<p>The Miss Virginia Mission House at 1312 South Hanna Street (426-0176) continues to serve many underprivileged people as a legacy to Virginia Schrantz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a
