Virginia McGuinness Obituary
October 5, 1946 - February 28, 2015
Raleigh
Virginia C. McGuinness, born on October 5, 1946, passed away Saturday, February 28, 2015 at home surrounded by her family and friends. Throughout her illness it was important to her that she was able to stay in the comfort of her own home with her husband.
Ginny is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Richard McGuinness; daughters: Kelly DiCaprio and Karen Franklin (Eric); and son, Keith (Yessenia). Ginny loved all of her grandchildren and will be missed every day by granddaughters: Madison, Lily, Charlotte, Sabrina, Kayla, Alexis; and grandson, Issac.
Ginny graduated from NC State in 1991 with a degree in accounting and earned her Certified Public Accountants license shortly thereafter. She went on to start her own business and worked out of the home until her retirement in 2013. She was a business savvy woman who will be missed dearly not just by her family and friends but by her many clients as well. Those who knew her knew how caring, nurturing and generous she was. She was always searching for ways to give to others before herself, and never expected anything in return. Ginny and Richard enjoyed traveling together to visit family as well as spending time on the North Carolina coast. For their 25th wedding anniversary, they traveled to Las Vegas for the first time where they enjoyed the beauty of Nevada from inside the casinos. This became a trip that continued on for many, many years.
A Mass of Celebration will be held at St Francis of Assisi, 11401 Leesville Rd. Raleigh, NC, on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 4:00pm with a short visitation beginning at 3:15pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Ginny's name to Wake Interfaith Hospitality Network or Transitions Life Care.
