Neil, Virginia

Virginia Neil was born in Tucson, Arizona and then moved to Portland, Oregon in 1980. Her inspiration for Coconut Jack came from her own true life adventures with her little Manx cat named Jack and two twin little girls named Annie and Lizzie whom she lovingly took care of for years. Those experiences led to her deep appreciation and love for children and animals. She continues to dedicate her time and effort in order to improve the lives of both.
