Ginny was a devoted and reliable volunteer in the Inpatient Unit at HCC on Good Dr. Upon retirement Ginny and I were a team while selling raffle tickets at Roots for the hospice auction. We had a great time and many laughs. I was honored to accompany her to the Volunteer recognition dinner. I will miss our talks.

Thoughts and prayers with all of you in the passing of your Mother and a friend to many. I spoke with Ginny last week and although she knew her condition she was very positive. We even had a laugh remembering old times. She is at peace and her eternal light wiill shine forever.

Dear Lynn and John, What a shock to hear about your Mother. Ginny was a good friend from Palmyra High School, Palmyra Church of the Brethren, and all the years since. I hadn’t visited her for a bit at Brethren Village, but, she was on my list!!! Now, too late!! Betty Smith and I and Ginny had our kids all around the same time. We felt a kinship. I am interested re. her interment. I send love to each of you.
