Virginia Reardon

Virginia J. Reardon Virginia Johanna Reardon, 95, of Grosse Pointe Farms and St. Clair Shores passed away on December 27, 2017 after a long and giving life. Ginny was born on July 20, 1922 in Detroit. She was the youngest of four children. Ginny graduated from Holy Redeemer High School in June 1940 and married John J. Reardon on May 19, 1945. Together they raised six girls during their 70+ years of marriage. Ginny worked as a secretary for a short period before raising her family. In her free time, she enjoyed golfing, bowling, Pinochle and Bridge. When the youngest started school, she made a commitment to join an exercise class. For over thirty years, Ginny walked through the doors of the Assumption Cultural Center for a class that provided both exercise and friendship. She became the senior member of the class at age 90. Ginny enjoyed adventures with "her girls." As adults, they traveled together once a year to enjoy the theater in NYC or Stratford, or walk over the Golden Gate Bridge or join an architecture tour in Chicago along with shopping the Magnificent Mile. The Reardon Womens long weekends provided cherished memories for Ginny and all of her daughters. Ginny was active member in the Rosary Altar Society at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church. In 2010, the society named Mrs. Reardon Woman of the Year. That honor provided a cherished Papal Blessing, which was proudly displayed in her home. During her recent stay at Shorepointe Assisted Living, Ginny met many wonderful people and brought smiles to all who cared for her. Ginny was preceded in death by her life partner, John J. Reardon, her parents, Grace (Franklin) and Charles Vogl; her sisters, Dorothy M. Miloch and Mildred E. Miller; and a brother who died at childbirth. She is survived by her daughters Carol Raphael (James), Kathleen DAmato (Joseph), Barbara Hogan (Paul), Mary Carolan (Joseph), Terri Mitchell (Larry), and Charlene Reardon (Denise Gonzalez); grandchildren, John Paul (Joy) and Jacqueline Hogan, Claire DAmato, Michelle Nipe (Matthew), Peter and Steven Mitchell , Jack and Kate Reardon Gonzalez, Natalie Petchenik (Graham), Michelle and Melanie Carolan and great-grandchildren, Piper, Darby and Kit Hogan and Connor and Caden Nipe.
