My Aunt Ginny, Uncle Russ, and boys were a big part of my life growing up. Although we didn’t get to see them often, our times shared were so very special.
More recently phone calls kept us connected, and I so enjoyed hearing her stories about when she and my Uncle Russ first met and were a young married couple.
With her health declining in recent years, her days were not always enjoyable, but she still enjoyed a good conversation. May she now rest in peace.
Much Love,
Cousin Dottie
A visit to our Krecker grandparents always meant a visit with Aunt Ginny and Uncle Russ, along with John and Bill. We always had great times.
Aunt Ginny’s singing voice was truly beautiful. I remember a recording of her singing Jeanette McDonald’s part along with a recording of Nelson Eddy’s part. She could have easily had that part in the movie. I can still hear it in my head.
Aunt Ginny was a petite lady, and I recall receiving a pair of high heeled shoes for dress-up from her that fit perfectly! I was so excited.
We will miss her.
Niece, Mary Belle Heindel
