Ginny retired in 1989 from Blue Cross and Blue shield where she worked as a payroll coordinator. She was a sweet soul who was loved by all who met her. Children held a special place in her heart and she never missed an opportunity to tell a parent how beautiful their child was. She was a seasoned traveler with a deep love for all animals.
