Ginter Sotrel, MD

Ginter Sotrel of Hull, Massachusetts passed away on March 21, 2026, at the age of 83. Ginter was born on November 28, 1942, in Kikinda, Yugoslavia - the eldest of three children of loving parents, the late Andrija Sottrell and Rosa Schell Sottrell. Ginter graduated from the University of Zagreb Medical School cum laude in 1967; he then moved with his former wife Ana and daughter Anamarija to the United States to pursue further education, completing his Residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago in 1974 and a Fellowship at Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in 1975.

In 1975 Ginter joined the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA as a physician with dual specialty training in both obstetrics and gynecology and additional expertise in reproductive endocrinology. His extensive medical background allowed him to offer specialized and comprehensive women's health services for patients facing complex reproductive challenges. He dedicated his professional life to helping create families - operating a private infertility practice in Chestnut Hill, MA for many years and publishing numerous medical papers, including the book, Tubal Reconstructive Surgery, in 1990.

Ginter loved the beach and the ocean, enjoying boating with friends and family before retiring in Hull, MA with an incredible view of Nantasket Beach. Ginter was a devoted husband, father and friend - he will truly be missed by all who knew him and his family will hold onto cherished memories together. Ginter is survived by his loving wife Cynthia Sue Anne Sotrel of Hull, MA; daughter Anamarija Sotrel of Los Angeles, CA and stepdaughters Jayne Fitzgerald Nistad of Stoughton, MA and Jillian M. Fitzgerald of Canton, MA; grandfather of Charles F. Nistad of Stoughton, MA, sister Gertrude Drobac, brother Stephan Sottrell of Stuttgart, Germany, Aleksander Bubera and Marija Kovacevic of Sombor, Serbia. Ginter is also survived by a large extended family and many dear friends.

Ginter will be put to rest on April 11, 2026, at 11AM at the Hull Village Cemetery in Hull, MA. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations be made to giving@brighamandwomens.org.
