Gina was a graduate of Hephzibah High School, Class of 1988. Her career started at Richmond Ambulance. She worked her entire life in the ambulance industry or in medical coding/billing, most recently for AU Medical Center. Gina was a host home provider for Serenity Behavioral Health. Gina was an avid reader, loved rock n roll and country music (especially live concerts), the color purple and getting together with family and friends as often as she could. She was the official family and friend photographer. She loved the beach and her 3 dogs, Brandy, Bentley and Toby.

Gina fought cancer with a fierce and determined spirit through many rigorous treatments and debilitating pain. She tried her best to stay strong for her son Joseph as long as her body would allow.

A very special thank-you from her family to Dr. William Goss, Dr. John Barrett, the 5th floor AU nurses and staff, the AU Cancer Center Staff, and her own personal nurse and best friend, Suzanne Bedichek.
