March 1, 1949 - September 13, 2025

Virginia "Ginny" Marie Werner, of Madison, Wisc., passed away at home on September 13, 2025, at the age of 76. Ginny was born March 1, 1949, in Beloit, Wisc. She was the daughter of Duane and Grace (Napper) Beals. Ginny was married to her loving husband of 52 years, James "Jim" Werner, on May 19, 1973, in Madison.

Ginny graduated from Clinton High School in 1967, went on to Beauty School and finished a 40-plus year career with the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where she held several roles before her final role in the Computer Sciences department.

Ginny is survived by her husband, Jim; her sons, Randy (Nancy) Werner, and Dan (Colleen) Werner; her five grandchildren, Riley, Evelyn, Dominic, Allison and Eleanor; and her sister, Kathy. She was preceded in death by her parents; her stepmother, Pearl; and her siblings, Spencer and Donna.

Ginny had many hobbies and passions in addition to spending time with family, loved ones and her grandchildren. Ginny was an avid sewer making wonderfully warm quilts for those cold winter nights. She also enjoyed traveling, biking, swimming, playing dominos and jigsaw puzzles. A highlight of her life was traveling to Hawaii with Jim for vacation.

Ginny always had a positive attitude, looking for the good in everyone she encountered during her life and leaving a lasting impression. She was quick to smile, had a memorable laugh and made sure to enjoy every single day.
