Virginia "Ginny" Regitz, 81, of Pequea, passed away on February 18, 2020. She was the daughter of the late Loy and Ruth Ryan and the wife of Ralph Regitz, celebrating 62 years of marriage on February 1.

Ginny will be remembered as a loving mother, who dedicated her life to her six children. She was a very active member of Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church where she faithfully served as a Sunday School and Junior Church Teacher, was part of the staff for Bible School and an Adult Choir member. Her faith played a very important role throughout her life.

Ginny became involved in activities because of her children and remained involved because of her heart for others. She was known by many as being a second mother or grandmother, simply because she treated everyone as if they were her own. Ginny was a Girl Scout Leader for many years, held various positions in the local Boy Scout pack, troop, and district as well as worked many summers in the kitchen at summer camp. She enjoyed volunteering her cooking talents for the Pennsylvania State Police Camp Cadet of Lancaster County and she also served as the Judge of Elections for Martic Township for several years. Regardless of what was going on, her dinner table always had room for one more and it filled her heart to see it surrounded.

Ginny worked for the Penn Manor School District as a cafeteria worker at Martic Elementary and Marticville Middle Schools bringing her love of cooking and children together until her retirement. She then she continued to volunteer at the elementary school several days a week to assist the teachers and school administration with various tasks.

Ginny's love will continue to shine through her husband, Ralph; her six children, Jodi Regitz of Pequea, Linda Harnish, (Stephen) of Holtwood, Dennis Regitz (Carol) of Washington Boro, Cathy Jo Regitz of Lancaster, Kenneth "Chip" Regitz (Barb) of Mount Joy and Brent Regitz (Kristi) of Ephrata; her grandchildren, Joshua, Sarah, Tyler, Emily Mae, Alayna, Mason and Ryan; her great-grandchildren, Isabelle, Maxwell, Josiah, and Elizabeth; her siblings, Frank and Donald Ryan and many others who were blessed to be called her family.
