Ginnie attended Granby High School in Norfolk Virginia and graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

Ginnie had a second career as an accountant CPA and with a nonprofit in Charlotte, N.C.
Besides being with her grandchildren, Ginnie’s favorite experiences were theatre, dance and travel. She volunteered at both Thalian Hall in Wilmington and at the Charlotte Theatre. Her tap classes and performances sustained her. Ginnie loved to travel and was always open to the next adventure. As Mom, Nana, sister, teacher, and best friend, her love will always remain in our hearts and her kindness and joy will not be forgotten. Keep on dancing.
