Ginny was a beloved wife, mother, grandma, great nana, sister, and friend. Always willing to help and serve others, she leaves behind a legacy of love and generosity. Born and raised in Ludington, Michigan, she came to Grand Rapids to study cosmetology and met her future husband, John. During WWII, she owned a beauty salon in Ludington until John's return from the war. They married in January of 1946 and settled in the Grand Rapids area. She found great joy in being a homemaker and mother to her three children. She worked in later years at Jacobson's and the Lowell Public Schools upon retiring to her home on Murray Lake. She was an active member of St. Luke's Lutheran Church. She was sadly preceded in death by her daughter, Susan Purcell and great-granddaughter, Alexis Veersma.
