Ginny was an executive planner for several Fort Wayne area companies. Over the course of her career, she was employed by Phelps Dodge, Lifeline, Scott Electronics, and The Lantern.
Ginny lived for her summers which she spent with her family at the Lakeside Community in Lakeside, Ohio. She enjoyed the opportunities for travel around the world with her family and extended family. An important part and enjoyment of her life was her involvement with the various activities that her children, grandchildren, and extended family were involved…she was a “mother and grandmother” to many.
