Ginny was my childhood piano teacher, mentor, and friend of 20 years. My life is better for having known Ginny, as she gave me some of the greatest gifts I have ever received--guidance, friendship, and unwavering support--which helped instill confidence in me as a young girl. When I was in high school, Ginny volunteered at Community Memorial Hospital and encouraged me to do the same. My volunteer experience turned me on to the joys of serving others and influenced my career choice. I will always remember Ginny's patience during my piano lessons (even when I didn't practice!) and the fun we had on our brunch, music, and theater outings. Ginny has touched my life beyond words and will be greatly missed.

I had the honor of working with Faye "Ginny" Johnson for 3 years as her massage therapist at the TowneHouse. It was such a pleasure to be able to be of service to her- she was one of the kindest intelligent women I have ever known. She had an incredible sense of humor and we laughed! I will miss her greatly but know that she has lived a full life touching many people.
