April 11, 2025

She was the wife of the late James S. Wardrop, Sr., who passed away in 2017. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter Henry Rittenhouse and Estella Heaps Rittenhouse.
Ginny was a graduate of JP McCaskey High School and had been a homemaker. Her family was her greatest treasure and she was a very social person who enjoyed talking to everyone.

With her faith in her Lord being a very important part of her life, she was a member of Grace Baptist Church of Lancaster.
Ginny loved to go out to eat, especially for breakfast, with two of her favorite places being the Country Kitchen and Eat-N-Park, where she had her photo featured in their brochures . She had also written many published stories that appeared in the "I Know A Story" section of the Lancaster Newspaper over the years.
She is survived by her children: Jamie Wardrop Brown of Lancaster, James S. Wardrop, Jr. of East Petersburg, Jody Wardrop of Lancaster, Jeannine Sailer of Lititz, and Jeffrey Wardrop of Naples, FL, and son-in-law – Donald Stewart; her 10 grandchildren: Eric Wardrop, Nicole Stewart, Kory Wardrop, Ashley Stewart, Majena Wardrop, LeeAndra Peck, Matthew and Alison Sailer, Emily Kaiser, and Jaedyn Wardrop; her 7 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild being delivered the day of her funeral.
