I worked with Ginny at the Hospitality Shop many years ago. She was so much fun to work with and a great job trainer and teacher.

Ginny was a wonderful person and a true asset to the Hospitality Shop. She knew the employees at the hospital and always catered to them. I will miss her and I thank her for all she did for the Shop and the Young Women's Club.
She was extra special to me because she was able to share stories of my mother when they were young adults. She was very special. My sympathies to her family.

As I look back on my childhood I see my mom as a very giving loving woman. I had several hip and leg issues as a young child and my mother devoted almost every waking moment to me whether in the hospital or at home in a body cast in a hospital bed!!! She was at the hospital from morning till late afternoon went home to make dinner for my brother and dad then came back out with my dad to the hospital till visiting hours were over!!! I never heard her complain once about the days and weeks she spent back and forth!!! I honestly dont know how she did it all??? When she started working at the Hospitality Shop at the York Hospital she really bloomed and made all kinds of long time friends and loved every moment... she was a true people person Im so happy that she enjoyed her job so much and the people she met became her friends. She loved to kid around and gave as much as she got!!! She had to retire in 2013 when my dad needed her at home to take care of him!!! I know she was torn but dad needed her more!! She Was a wonderful mother to me ALWAYS❣❣❣ I know shess happy to be reunited with dad and her mom and dad ....she fought hard the last 3 months but it was time to return to them!!! I look forward to the day we are together again... all of us❣❣❣ I love you Mom❣❣❣

Ginny was a great women. I first met her when she was an advisor for Jobs Daughters. She was a great mentor. I came in contact with her the second time when we both worked at York Hospital. I hope the third time we get together is in heaven where we can recall our past times together. My sympathy goes out to the family. May you Rest In Peace Ginny.

Ginny was a great lady. I first knew her when she was an advisor for Jobs Daughters. As a teen, I looked up to her as being a great mentor. I reconnected with her again when I worked on pediatrics and she worked in gift shop at York Hospital. Again, she was an exemplary worker and I have to say a fun lady. I am sure she will be missed by her friends and family. Hopefully we will meet a third time in Heaven and be able to hug and be glad to meet again.

I volunteered at the Hospitality Shop when Ginny worked there. I always enjoyed working with her. She was a sweet lady. We later realized she went to school with my mom and my dad knew her husband Richard -small world. RIP Ginny. Condolences to the family.
