Ginny was a homemaker; she also was a wonderful cook who had worked at the former Barons Restaurant. Prior to that she was employed in the kitchen at Lakeview Bar and Grill for fifteen years.
She was a lifelong member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church. Ginny was devoted to her faith and to her family and was very active at St. Anthony Parish.

Ginny was very creative and generous with her time and handiwork. She had made hundreds of baby bibs for the Ladies of Charity. She and her husband Willie raised a large garden and shared their produce with family and friends. She was a supportive wife who helped Willie on the farm and with their annual mulligan feast.
