She enjoyed cooking, gardening, sewing, decorating her home and entertaining family and close friends.  Christmas and Easter were her favorite holidays! Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were so special to her and she loved having them over for the weekends and playing “dress up”.  Sweet Ginny was such a beautiful lady, inside and out and was always aware of her appearance, looking her best when she left her home.
