Worked with Ginny for many years. She was a sweet person with a strong love of family. Nothing was more important to her than her children.

I have so many fond memories of your mom. Our first birdge club and first play group with Brett, John, Chrissy Lowe and Steve Kubeck. Manor events and of course gathering at the pool on sunny days! What a very special person! Prayers to the family.

So sorry for your loss. Loosing anyone, especially grandparents, is so hard. Mine had such an impact on me. Keep the memories alive. Donaileen Dondero

I have many fond memories of Gin. As a little girl, I looked up to her and thought she was the coolest thing that walked the planet. She would blow into Marianna and entertain us for a couple of days, then she would be gone. I am so sorry for your loss. There are very few Newbern links left. Children of Gin, you have several Arkansas cousins that don't want the tie to be broken.

I have many fond memories of walking down to your house with Eric and Chrissy to visit. Be it in timing swim meets, car pools, babysitting or just talking, your mother was there. With sympathy, Becky Lowe
