Age 89 of West St. Paul, MN. Passed away peacefully at home, April 13, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. She is preceded in death by her devoted husband, Sheriff Russell Seals, Jr.; parents Paul and Samantha Vaughn; and sister Glenna. Ginny was born August 23, 1928 and raised in East St. Louis, Illinois. She had a long career as a legal secretary in Nebraska City, Nebraska and also assisted her husband in his sheriff's duties. A year after her husband's death in 1982, Ginny moved to St. Paul to be closer to her children. She then worked as assistant to the president of Commercial State Bank in St. Paul for many years. Ginny was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her strength, feisty spirit, and deep faith lives on in those who will forever love and remember her: children Randy (Linda) Seals, Jeri (Gregg) Weigand, Joyce (Patrick) Roddy and John (Pam) Seals; grandchildren Jason (Lori) Seals, Kallie (Misha) Orlova, Jared (Kristi) Roddy, Karissa (Adam) Drew, Erin Roddy, Logan (Katie) Roddy, Kara Weigand and Piper Seals; great grandchildren George, Noah, Meadow, Nadeen, Veronika, Amelia, Sullivan, Lyubov, Michael "Frankie", many nieces, and a nephew. Ginny leaves behind her loving companion, Jim Stickler, who provided much joy to her for almost 24 years. The special bond they shared gave her great happiness and she and her family are thankful for his presence in her and their lives. She will also be missed by a host of longtime friends.
