Virginia Nickerson Cooney

What I remember most about Aunt Ginny was her smile and laugh. She was a treasure trove of Nickerson family stories which I´d never heard.

I´ve recollections of the early years of the families getting together in 60´s. Thanksgiving's and Christmas´s were special. The kids would be romping about in a room removed from the adults and if it got too quiet, Aunt Ginny would look in on us to make sure we were okay.

As the years and decades passed, the occasions for the big family get togethers became less frequent, however the times when we did see each other were sweet. Aunt Ginny exuded poise, as if she had reservoir of tranquility to draw upon. She will be dearly missed.

So hard to find words to express how special Aunt Ginny was. I have such fond memories of Thanksgivings in Falmouth and summers in Greenville with her and the rest of her family. She truly was interested in so many different things. I regret that my grandchildren never got to meet their great great aunt. And I certainly remember that special twinkle she always seemed to have in her eye. She will be missed by so many people.
