I will always remember Ginny, fondly. As a new nursing graduate, in 1970, she was very kind to me, sharing her years of experience, to orient me on the maternity unit, at Beverly hospital. We worked many years, together, on the evening shift. Yesterday, our ” old timers” lunch group met at Danversport and shared fond memories of Ginny. We will all miss her. My sincere sympathy to her husband and entire family. Patti Wallis
