Ginny was the nicest person you would ever want to meet. she was a good friend of mine for a long time. We didn't see each other or talk much to each other, but when we did it was always nice. I'm really going to miss her.

Ginny, you will be deeply missed. You were always one of my favorite people that I ever had the pleasure to know & work with at the bank. Your sense of humor was like no other and was always ready to make us laugh. I always loved talking about our beloved Pirates with you, we could go on and on No matter winning or losing. You just like me were always there as a #1 fan even after we were no longer working together I could always count on the occasional text message about them buccos!! I’m so saddened to hear of your passing but know you are for sure in a better place and suffer no more. I will forever hold you dear in my heart and memories. My thoughts and prayers are with Connie, Bill & family in your time of loss. God bless.
