Virginia Kip Farrell passed away peacefully on April 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 28, 1932, Kip spent most of her younger years growing up in Darien, Connecticut, where she enjoyed an active, sports-filled youth. Her mother, a trained classical pianist, had studied under the famed Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and her father was a banker. She attended New Canaan Country School, and graduated from Miss Hall’s School in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Kip met William Kegg, Jr., a New Canaan boy attending Harvard in 1950 and they were married in 1952. Upon Bill’s graduation from Harvard, he took an exciting position in Paris as a film director, and the new couple started their lives together there.
