Mrs. MacDonald attended local schools and then earned a college degree before returning to Lemington.

She had a long career in the Colebrook banks, starting at the First Colebrook Bank in the early 1940s, and then later at the Farmer's & Trader's Bank from which she retired in 1986 after more than 40 years of service. From 1987 until 2000, Ginny worked part-time as a gift shop attendant at The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch.

She was a communicant of St. Brendan's Catholic Church and a member of the Catholic Women's Club. She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend to many who will miss her dearly.
