Your grandmother was a very beautiful southern belle.

@KC1971J thank you.

My Great Aunt sounds just like your Grandma she was born and raised in Northern Virginia though.

[monumentfloyd]

I believe it. I grew up in northern virginia myself.

Sounds just like my VA grandparents. Love it.

I was born and live in Richmond and every person over the age of 60 who's lived in VA their whole life talks like this. If you listen closely I think every Virginian has a bit of this left in them. @dvsthientai I saw Firginia too:)

My aunt Mary Well sounded very much like this, not as strong. Born in Hampton, VA. You I was born in Hampton too, I always said Firginia!

I was born in Richmond (MCV Hospital) in 1963. My Grandparents raised me in Goochland County (Crozier). My grandparents had this accent. I hate to see the accent die.
