They had 54 blessed years together before Bob’s death in 1996.

Bob’s work took them to different parts of the country. First to Lincoln, NE. then back to Rochester, finally settling in California in 1959 where they raised their 4 sons. They retired to Arizona in 1992. Ginny moved to Windsor after Bob’s death. Later relocating to Millbrae for her final years.

Ginny and Bob were both very involved in the Episcopal Church. She loved singing in the choir and serving on the vestry as well as many other areas of volunteering. They loved sailing and traveling. She was a devoted wife and mother whose greatest pleasures were her family, her church and her many friends.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Magnolia of Millbrae for their kind, thoughtful and loving care. Per Ginny’s wishes there will not be a service.
