Insley, Virginia, 1912-
Virginia Insley, medical social worker, was born Ruth Marie Henze on Jan. 2, 1912, in Portland, Oregon, the daughter of Adele Henze and a father who abandoned them. In February 1913 Henze "voluntarily surrendered the said child to the care and custody of The Baby Home". In March 1913 Fannie (Brazee) and Morton H. Insley, a "travelling agent," of Portland, adopted her and changed her name to Virginia Insley.
In 1929 Insley graduated from St. Helen's Hall, a private school, and went on to the University of Washington in Seattle, where she majored in sociology and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. The Depression, and the death of her father, made it impossible for her to go straight to graduate school. Even before she received her BA (1934), Insley had embarked on the long and successful social work career, dedicated to maternal and child health.
