I had the joy of working with Ginny in New Berlin for almost 7 years, I remember first meeting her around the time that she had both knees replaced at one time, WOW What a brave woman, I couldn't believe her strength! She did have a laugh that made you smile, always good humored and truly loved her children. I can still see the photo on her desk of her wrapping her arms around her boys on the beach when they had a vacation together. Because of our open work area I can remember her on the phone talking with her sons and planning adventures with them the word "peanut" was always spoken. I am positive it was her loving pet name for them. She was a hard worker and knew what she was doing, one that could play hardball with the best. I admired how she always called her co-working men by their last names, shake her head laughing and walk away whenever their conversations were done. She was part of our work family. She left our place of employment and continued her journey making people happy. I am shocked to hear of her loss and my prayers are with her sons. May they always know that their mom put them first in her life and that she will continue to love them from above. To her family and friends my prayers that God will comfort you all. she was a treasure taken to soon.

Many fond memories of Ginny in Atlanta where we both worked for Marriott. I even babysat for Chris before they moved back to Wisconsin. She was a joy to work, with and I loved calling her my friend. RIP Ginny..

When we were kids we would all gather at Grandpa and Grandma Wolf's on Christmas night. The front stairs were always icy and we had a slippery time of it getting in. Nonetheless, Ginny and Patti and I always made it, and barely greeted each other before we'd run up the stairs to the bathroom and lock the door. Then we would tell each other secrets that we had saved all year for just this occasion. Usually it was about boys and we would be shocked and horrified at how we had been done wrong. Or we would snicker about the first kisses. But it was foundational and safe and we were anchored there, if only for an evening. And then we would be forced to join the others at the family bingo where there was ample supply of Little Chute pop of every flavor and jingling coins in grandpa's pockets for bingo prizes. And singing O Tannebaum and Stille Nacht in German. Always finished with the hopes of a sleepover because we weren't quite done. So our story is still not done and we will see you in heaven giggling Ginny. And we'll have a long sleepover.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Aunt Helen and Lee Schwartz are so sorry that Ginny is no longer with us but her laughter and smile will continue to make us smile. She will be in the hearts of many. Our sincere sympathy to the family, Mary, Steve, Annie and Mark. their spouses and kids. We cannot attend the celebration of her life but we will remember her during our masses and night prayers. All our love and all our tears.

My heart goes out to the Chard and Wolf families. Memories of the Wolf kids and LaFrombois Kids goofing off still bring a smile to my face even during this painful time. Prayers to all. Russ (Butch) and Mary LaFrombois
