Some of “Ginny’s” enjoyments were seeing her boys, grandchildren, and great grandchildren running through the door to see her. Her love of oldies music, especially “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers, “Splish Splash” by Bobby Darin, and “Y M C A” by The Village People, dancing while listening to her oldies music, bowling, sewing, but one of her most passionate enjoyments was baking homemade BANANA BREAD. It is considered the best homemade banana bread in the world says any one who has eaten it. She would bake loaves upon loaves of it and her freezer was completely full all of the time. If anyone stopped by, she would always ask if you wanted a loaf before you left. That is why everybody calls her “GRANDMA BANANA BREAD.”
As her family, we were blessed to have her in our lives for as long as we did. Her family will miss her immensely!!! REST IN PEACE MY DEAREST WIFE, MOM, GRANDMA, & GREAT GRANDMA!!! WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!
