Surviving family members include daughters . Ginny has 11 grandchildren + 9 great-grandchildren with 2 more on the way.
Ginny made a difference throughout her life by serving her community whether it was as an EMT on a mountain ambulance, as a police dispatcher or working with kids. Ginny believed her spiritual gift and purpose in life was to help children in need. She was a licensed therapeutic foster parent for 36 years and fostered over 200 children. She was mom to many more kids than Sharon, Susan, and Mike.
Her commitment to children was evident through her work at USD 336 in Holton, KS, where she served for 24 years in special and general education. Ginny had a special place in her heart for at risk kids at the high school level. She built the tutor program from the ground up. While her goal was to help students that were struggling academically, she had a tremendous impact on their social and emotional well-being. She spent many hours helping kids inside and outside the school building. She had many study sessions in her kitchen and when kids couldn't come to her, she went to them, often in their homes.
Memorial Service will be 1:30 p.m. Friday, December 10, 2021 at the Evangel United Methodist Church in Holton. Inurnment will be at a later date.
