Virginia M Ryan

I had the fortune to engage with Virginia - "Jinny" - while she worked in the Town Clerk's office. I use the word "engage" as it is apropos because she possessed a great sense of humor and sharp insight (being the hallmark of the wit of her Irish heritage).

The use of the phrase "101 years young" could not be more accurate when describing Jinny (she enjoyed reminding me of the disparity between her chronological age and that of her physical and mental state). As shown by her obituary, she exceeded the actuarial odds for a person of her generation with a persevering well-lived life.

My condolences to her family and her friends.
