Virginia (Ginny, Gin, Ginger) drove a school bus for over forty years and was a big NASCAR fan, especially Jimmie Johnson. She loved country music, both old and new.
She loved animals, especially dogs and cats. She was most recently grandma to six fur babies, Alie, Paulie, Sam, Joee, Rudy and Frosty. She collected dolls, antiques, and lots of knick knacks. She took great pride in decorating her home with all of her collections. Mom loved to help others. She enjoyed watching TV, going to the movies, meeting friends for coffee and dining out at restaurants. Her true joy was doing all of those things with family and friends.
