Ginny was kind, caring, generous and positive, with tremendous inner strength and a beautiful smile. She was truly a “people person”. She virtually made a hobby of meeting new people and learning their stories, making friends with them almost instantly. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, who loved to take her children and grandchildren to parks, museums, and restaurants.
