-Mother- Ginny was a devoted mother. She was always involved with her sons school and sports activities and later supported him in life. She was thankful for him and she demonstrated that love in everything he did and was very proud of the man he has become. Ginny was a staunch protector and caregiver to her daughter who lived to be 10 years old with a severe and rare congenital heart problems.
-Daughter- Virginia was a dutiful daughter. At the beginning of the pandemic Virginia moved out of her own home and moved in with her mother. She worked from home and cooked, cleaned and took care of her mother the entire time. She was an excellent cook and loved to try out new recipes to her mothers pleasure! She and her father shared a closeness and bond. Ginny was proud to be a Daddy’s girl.
-Mimi- There was no greater joy than being Mimi. Ginny was the absolute best grandmother. She was involved with their everyday life, from school pick up to evening dinner, or long chats on the phone. Bringing adventure and fun to her grandchildren was all she wanted to do. She would take them to dinner theater, the zoo, the park, and even to Florida and Walt Disney World. She doted on her grandchildren and she will be greatly missed by them.
-SisterFriend- Ginny was a fierce protector as a sister and a friend. After the untimely passing of their brother, Viola & Ginny’s bond grew even stronger. They navigated life together, as friends, daughters, aunts and ultimately grandma’s. Their love for each other is as mirrored as their physical resemblance and they have a sister bond that is forever. There was no greater friend than Ginny. She would make time to help you with anything you needed. She was everything to her friends and her friends were everything to her. Her life was lived loving and giving to her friends and family.
