Chris & family
My sincere condolences are sent your way. I was heart broken to hear the passing of Ginny.
I had the pleasure of first meeting Ginny on the ball field, then lucky enough to travel to Jamaica with her almost 10 years ago.
She was such a strong, independent, private woman (never complaining of the pain she was in).
May she rest in easy peace.
My thoughts & prayers are with you!

The pain felt now is evidence of the love shared. May there be peace in the cherished memories we hold close.

Condolence from Sandi Robinson on January 11th, 2022 6:22 PM

I met Ginny on the baseball field and gained a wonderful friend ! Vicki Parsons, Ginny and I have some wonderful memories of those days, we will never forget. I smile when speaking of her telling others how we would feel nervous if she came up to bat, because if we were on base we needed to be ready to run faster than we’d ever run because she would surely be running on our heels after sending the baseball over the right field fence, every single time.
We have lost a wonderful friend here on earth, but gained a wonderful spirit watching over all those she cared for and loved.

Condolence from Diane Stephen on January 11th, 2022 6:34 PM

Ginny was a one of a kind all round competitive sport.
I played volleyball and baseball against her teams and she gave her all with a smile on her face.
Although there was a time when she was only able to watch and keep score that smile never left her face. I could tell that she would rather be playing.
May you cherish all the special memories and know that she is free from pain.
Thoughts are with you and your families at this sad and difficult time.
Dave and Diane Stephen (McCarter)

Condolence from Bob and Brenda Smith on January 11th, 2022 6:46 PM

Condolence from Jason McFalls on January 11th, 2022 7:16 PM

I met Ginny as a kid bowling in the youth league in Exeter circa 1978-81 roughly. I luckily had the chance to connect again with her thirty years later as her coworker in Clinton. We shared a number of rides to work from Lucan and had so many laughs! Being her neighbour down the street the last six years my kids always looked forward to her Halloween display (ok, I did too) which never failed to disappoint year after year even during Covid! I’m going to miss her playful nature and her laugh that always made me feel funnier than I actually was!
My sincerest condolences to her family at this difficult time. RIP my friend.

Condolence from Cathy and Bruce Cornis on January 11th, 2022 7:25 PM

To Chris and families I had the pleasure to have Ginny as a teammate but mostly part of our JUST A TEAM family . I admired Ginnys strength, and courage .Ginny would be in pain even have treatment that day and would be out to play ball that night … she would be swinging for the fence or running the bases like a deer , giving her all , and always had a smile on her face . RIP sister you will always be remembered and forever missed . ⚾️🥎

Chris & family

So very sorry for your loss

I first met Ginny on the ball field. She was an outstanding player and a true teammate!
Ginny’s running prowess always made players on the bases nervous. We all knew we had to run as fast as we could or Ginny would be on our tail!

For Ginny, it was always a ‘team’ effort. That is the way she lived her life!

Thinking of you during this very difficult time!

Deb Lord

Condolence from Linda Kuska on January 12th, 2022 8:05 PM

Chris and Family, I can’t even imagine the loss that you must be feeling right now. Ginny was a spirited, loving, caring and generous person who gave her whole self in everything that she did! I saw her just before Christmas and I told her that she never looked happier and more a peace with life. So I was so saddened when I heard the news that she was gone but she will live on with you in your hearts forever.
Our deepest sympathy.
Linda and Bob Kuska

Condolence from Brenda (Parsons) Martene on January 14th, 2022 12:45 PM

To Ginny’s Family & Friends . . .

“Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories”.
“A Limb Has Fallen from Your Family Tree”.

Praying for you all . . . my heart is heavy with sadness after I learned the heartbreaking news about the sudden passing of Ginny . . . who was taken so suddenly & at such a young age.

Although, I have not seen Ginny in a long time, from earlier years, I had the pleasure & privilege of playing baseball with this amazingly talented, naturally gifted athlete, one heck of a ball player. Ginny was more than just a teammate; she was an exceptional friend who was so beautiful both inside & out.

The slideshow pictures show what a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law & friend Ginny was . . . she has blessed each of you with so many memories & treasurable moments to hold dear to your hearts & help you the difficult day ahead. Ginny’s love & spirit will be woven into the lives of all who knew her, & she will never be forgotten . . . her legacy lives on. Words are never enough to ease the heartbreak you are feeling right now, but the genuine outpouring from family, friends, neighbours & community demonstrates the profound impact Ginny had on everyone she met.

Although I am unable to be at the visitation, I am sending all of you my most heartfelt love & sympathy as you grieve this incredible loss. Heaven has gained the sweetest Angel & she will be with you always & forever.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. ~ Author Unknown ~

Grief is the last act of Love we must give to those we Loved. Where there is deep Grief, there was great Love!

Ginny, Rest in Peace my dear friend & teammate . . . our memories & friendship are treasures that I will carry in my heart always. 💞🙏💞
