In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. John the Evangelist School, where she taught for more than a decade and was lovingly embraced by a warm community; or to Hope Connections, which provides wonderful, life-enriching programs for families living with cancer.

Ginny was an intelligent, warm, and open-hearted person. Generous is certainly the right adjective for her. She will be missed as much by her friends as her family. She was a wonderful example of what it means to be a loving and exemplary human being. Love, Barb Levy

Ginny always asked, "Are you having fun? Because if you are not; what's the point?!" Then she would chuckle in that great throaty way! Generosity was her middle name. Her inner child was a gem to behold and made it a privilege to work with her. Indeed, it was fun...Love, Carrie Bazyluk
