For many years, Ginny participated in and supported the Shoebox Ministry and Operation Christmas Child, being part of the packaging and collecting items for it. She would even travel to the outreach center to get the packages ready to ship across the world. It gave her joy to help others, especially the children. Ginny’s family encourages contributions in her memory to these efforts in lieu of flowers, and these can be made online by visiting https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/ways-to-give/…;
