Our beloved Helen Virginia Barbon Stamper "Ginnie", went home to be with the Lord on December 13, 2022 at the age of 93. She was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 26, 1929. She attended school in Baltimore and also in Chicago, Atlanta and finally, Grinnell Iowa for college. She married (David) in February of 1952 in Philadelphia, PA and had 5 children, 4 in Philadelphia and the last one being born in Phoenix Arizona. Ginnie moved with her family from Philadelphia to Phoenix, to Las Vegas, to Orlando Florida and then happily back to Phoenix in 1976 permanently. Her career was in mortgage and banking for the majority of her life, retiring against her will at age 83. Ginnie loved to read, travel, her family and most of all, she loved Jesus. She contributed to many charities, was a prayer warrior, believed in protecting her family at all costs and was an inspiration to all. Ginnie is preceded in death by her parents Lloyd and Helen, her brother Richard (Barbara), sons Geoffrey and Stephen and grandson Derek. She is survived by her sister Claudia (Dave), sons Derek (Jan), Clay, daughter Courtney, 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

To those of us who knew and loved my meema and will miss her until the day we are re-united at our own death - or the coming of the Creator of all things ( Jesus the Christ Heb: Ch. 1:1-8). May the LORD give us strength, peace and good memories of all the days of Virgina's life.

I remember one of the stories meema use to tell me of the first time we met. We were at the airport, I was about 4, and my mother told me "there is your grandma!" I looked at her and yelled "Meema!" ran to her and gave her a big hug as she smothered me with kisses and the love only a grandmother can give! From then on, she was my Meema.

One of the greatest actions we can do, as creatures made in the image of GOD, is give your love to another. Virgina was special in the way she gave of herself - her time, her wisdom, her prayers - her love, to all of us who knew her. She was a beautiful witness of how we should live and love. Your grandson, Ryan.

Virginia longed to skip down "Streets of Gold" and hug her wonderful sons and grandson. How blessed she is to be doing this now and seeing God face to face. We can only imagine!!!

Ginny was a loyal and true friend to all who were fortunate enough to know her. We shared such a friendship for 46 years. I am so happy she is at peace with our Lord. I miss you more than anyone will ever know. See you again one day and we will get into more mischief.
