Ginette loved to travel and enjoyed the arts, cooking and watching sunsets in Ellison Bay. She will always be remembered by her family and friends for her kindness and charitable nature.

Ginette will be missed by her sons, Larry (Kathleen, née Moran) and Jack (Marianne, née Merges); grandson, Kirk (Nicole, née Stewart); granddaughter, Kelly; and great-granddaughter, Avery.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her loving husband of 64 years, Vernon.
