After 43 years of marriage, Gini leaves husband John, son Doug (Liz), grandchildren Jacob, Bethany, Elijah, Trinity, Charity, and Selah (Cincinnati), daughter Elizabeth (Laramie, WY), brother Robert (Lin) and his children and grandchildren, and sister Margaret. Gini grew up in Laramie, graduating from the University of WY in 1967. John and Gini settled happily in Cincinnati in 1979, with yearly summer trips back to her beloved SE WY mountains. She was an active volunteer in her children?s schools and served ably in her church in many roles, including deacon, elder, handbells, choir, and financial secretary. She touched lives wherever she went and will be missed by all. Memorials may be made to Northminster Presbyterian Church, 703 Compton Rd, Cincinnati, or to the UW Bruce Scholarship in Psychology. A celebration of her life will be held at Northminster on June 4 at 10 am and a graveside service in Laramie on July 16.
