During her life, Ginny traveled the world – Japan, England, Spain, Mexico, to name a few– but she always returned to her beloved home state. Along her life travels, Ginny married and had four loving children. Ginny raised her children to enjoy life to its fullest, just as she did, but to remember that family always comes first. These life lessons have carried through to her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ginny recently retired from Pierce Transit.
