Marilyn Richards McGinty

Surrounded by the love and warmth of her children and grandchildren, Marilyn Richards McGinty died on November 3, 2015. It was a sunny Election Day - "a good day for the Democrats" as she liked to say. Marilyn was born in Carbondale, PA and was raised in Honesdale, PA. In 1956 she married John J. McGinty of Hawley, PA. They raised their children in Philadelphia, PA. Marilyn attended Keystone Junior College and later received a degree from Antioch University. After her retirement from a career as the Chief Financial Officer of the Woodhaven Center, Marilyn moved to Williamsburg, VA.

Marilyn was passionate about children, and was a devoted nanny to three of her grandchildren as well as working at the Bruton Parish nursery. She was also passionate about politics, and she spent many years volunteering for the Democratic party as well as serving on the Williamsburg Electoral Board. Marilyn is survived by three brothers; Bob Richards (Dottie) and Ernie Ramirez (the late Shirley) of Honesdale and George Rogers (Teresa) of North Syracuse, PA, five children; Maureen McGinty Esq. (Les Dias Esq.), Patti Mittleman (Dr. Alan), the Honorable Mike McGinty (Sharon), Margaret McGinty, and Jack McGinty and seven grandchildren; Ari, Joel, Devon, Connor, Miyuki, Hans and Brendan.
