Virginia "Gigi" Schendler

When we think of Gigi, we see her beautiful blue eyes, and her wonderful zest for life. We will miss running into her when hiking around the Goshen Ocean or when walking by her beautiful farm. Her kindness touched many lives. Rest in peace Gigi, we will all miss you.

You will be missed Gigi. You were a great neighbor and friend.

Gigi was an inspiration. She remained vital and engaged as she aged. Her passion gave others energy and strength. And she was just so fun and interesting! I feel very fortunate to have known her. Her energy is still here in the trees she loved.

Gigi was an infinitely wise and loving person.

My very first remembrance of Gigi is working on the Gutsy Guys of Goshen calendar in 2002. From there Gary and I became friends of hers having pizza nights at Village, and entertaining at each others houses. She will be missed

I knew Gigi for sixty years. Her daughter, Tarin, and my daughter were classmates in nursery school. Gigi was beautiful, brilliant, and a delight to be with. A few years ago, I visited her in Goshen. We also went to the Metropolitan Opera together several years ago. Not long ago, she sent me a book about the birds of India, a souvenir of her time in Hyderabad with her family. We're both birders. Gigi was a lovely person, and I will miss her. Lenore Weseley

Goshen will miss you, Dear Heart.

Gigi rejoiced in the woods, the lake, the various paths near her home. One could not be help being pierced by her joy in the same places when one was a guest of hers. I will never forgot her--- the wonderful joy of deep friendship I found with. Gigi.
