She was born on November 21, 1925, in Worcester, MA. and moved to Ayer, MA following her father’s passing. There she met her high school sweet heart and future husband. While raising their family, Ginny enjoyed her friendships through many bridge games, which became a lifelong pass time. Dick and Ginny moved to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada in 1966, where they spent 34 years. Ginny worked as Administrative Secretary in the Biology Department of the University of New Brunswick. She derived great enjoyment from baking, knitting, shopping, and watching her favorite sports teams, The Red Sox, and The New England Patriots. Ginny was famous for her brownies and loved to share them with her family and friends. She was especially happy when accompanying Dick on their many road trips; either long adventures or short excursions. Many of their life’s stories involved what happened on these adventures. Ginny will be remembered for her love of family, perseverance in difficult times, quick sense of humor and generosity. In the later part of April, there will be a memorial gathering to commemorate her life. The family would appreciate donations made to the “Life Path Hospice” in Ruskin, Florida.
