Ginny and Ralph moved frequently while Ralph was on active duty and later with Ralph’s work. They made many lifelong friends along the way and in 1967 the family settled on Eshleman Drive in Lititz. Ginny moved to the Luthercare Community in 2009.

She was well known in Lititz for her close to 20 years of teaching at the Tiny Tots nursery school program, participation in the Lititz Women’s Club, ABCs and Girl Scouts.

She particularly enjoyed acting in many community stage productions and stretching the rules of most any game she played. She also loved hot dogs, ice cream and Wilbur chocolate!
