Ris, Virginia Lee (Hazen) 85, passed away October 8, 2013. She was born in Ottumwa, Iowa to Glenn and Virginia (Hatch) Hazen. Ginni, as she was known by all, graduated from Ottumwa High School and then attended The University of Iowa, earning a degree in English. She married fellow Hawkeye and Olympic gold medalist Walter Ris in 1950 and resided in Iowa City before moving to Alameda, California in 1960. Subsequent moves took Ginni, Wally and their family to Canoga Park and later, to Mission Viejo.
Ginni was a sixty year member of PEO and remained active with the national chapter of her college sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. She enjoyed a long career in property management and her hobbies included ballroom dancing, gardening and traveling.
Ginni is survived by her brother, Dr. John Hazen of Monarch Beach, California; her four children, Greg, Jeff, Julie and John; and her three grandchildren, Derek, Tyler and Valentina.

I just learned of Ginni's death. I worked with her at PCM and she was the most perfectly groomed and well dressed manager that we had. She was always cheerful and very hard working. She even got Wally involved in helping her in this very demanding job. I hope she was well until the very end. I am sorry for her loss to her family.
