She continually gave back to Stonehill over the next 50 years by serving in many alumni positions, including as the first female President of the Alumni Council, as the Vice President of the Alumni Council, a member of the Board of Fellows, chairperson of the Alumni Council Scholarship Fund Committee, a Century Club member, as well as numerous other roles and committees. For her continued devotion and service to Stonehill College, she received the Francis X. Dillon Alumni Service Award in 1988. At the College's 50th anniversary in 1998, Ginny was selected as one of 50 honorees of the Moreau Medallion, which recognized her distinguished contributions that played an important role in the development of Stonehill during its first half-century.

For more than four decades, Ginny was a dedicated Special Education and English teacher in the Brockton and Bridgewater Public Schools, with the majority of her career serving at Brockton's Alternative High School. A devoted Roman Catholic, Ginny taught CCD for more than three decades and was a longtime communicant of Saint Margaret's Church and Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
