Nothing Made Ginny happier than being at the ocean. Anywhere she went she would always find a beach. She was a kind spirit and had a gentle soul. She loved being "Gramma". Her grandchildren brought her so much joy and happiness. She also lived in Caroga Lake, NY for many years where she made so many amazing friends. Being on a pontoon boat, kayaking, or anything outdoors was the perfect day in her eyes. Her day never really started until she had her cup of tea. Ginny looked forward to her yearly camping trips to Rhode Island, where she brought her children and later her grandchildren. Writing poems was a passion of hers. She was an adventurer and loved taking trips in her camper. One of her favorite quotes was, "Not all who wander are lost."

We will be having a celebration of life for Ginny at Coppolas, 4167 Albany Post Rd, Hyde park NY,12538, on Saturday October 3rd at 3pm.
