OBITUARY

The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, AZ; 21 August 1998

Virginia E. Rice, ex-book selection chief at Reader's Digest, dies of cancer at 53

By Tom Collins, The Arizona Daily Star

Virginia E. Rice, longtime book selection chief for Reader's Digest, died Wednesday of lung cancer at her Tucson home. She was 53.

After a brief stint at McCall's magazine, Rice moved on to Reader's Digest, where she worked for 25 years before retiring two years ago, said her husband of 18 years, Gary D. Yanker.

While at Reader's Digest, Rice was head of its New York Book Rights and Scouting Department, Yanker said. She negotiated with publishers for magazine excerpts and condensed works, including the autobiography of Margaret Thatcher and Elmore Leonard novels, Yanker said.
Rice also oversaw acquisition for the digest's 40 worldwide editions, he said.

Rice was born Sept. 1, 1944, in St. Louis and grew up there before attending Marymount College in Tarrytown, NY, Yanker said. She graduated in 1966. Rice retired in 1996, and the family moved to Tucson, he said.

In Tucson, Rice was a volunteer at Manzanita Elementary School, he said. She was active Women in Publishing, the American Publishers Association and Literacy Volunteers of New York, Yanker said.

"She believed that written language is the bedrock of all education; that to write well and to communicate well, one has to be well-read," said Yanker.

Rice was diagnosed with cancer two months ago, Yanker said.
She is survived by her husband; a son, Andrew Gary Yanker; her father, John H. Rice of St. Louis; and brothers John of Charlotte, NC, and Jim of Oakhurst, Calif.

Visitation will be today from 6 to 7 p.m. at Avalon Chapel, 8090 N. Northern Ave. A funeral Mass is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 5150 N. Valley View Road.

Rather than flowers, mourners are asked to make donations to the Tucson Medical Center Foundation for Cancer, 5310 E. Grant Road, Tucson 85712.
