I believe this is the Mrs. Hawley who led the orchestra for a Riordan High School musical play that I was so many years ago. I remember Virginia as a kind and encouraging music director, who helped me gain confidence as I learned and finally masters my singing parts in the musical play. She was also a wonderful musician. Im sorry to learn of her passing and I thank her for the wonderful memory, experience, and confidence. May she rest In peace!

We have many happy memories of Ginny in our earlier life. She always had so much energy and always loved her boys. We have not had contact with her for many years but know she will be at peace with her husband Freddie.

Rest in peace, Ginny.
Thank you for your gift of music which you shared with so many through St. Gabriel Parish and the lay chorus you started so many years ago. Only you could make your violin sing so dramatically to bring out such emotions of joy, love and sorrow. Rest in peace now with your beloved Fred.
