I loved your mother! She was always supportive and genuinely interested in our lives. I have such wonderful memories of your home as a gathering place for all the neighborhood, such a warm and welcoming environment.
What a gift we were given to be nurtured by the amazing group of adults who surrounded us! Ginny was one of the best!!
Love to her three sons . . .

Ginny was very supportive in her husband Bill's formation of the Dan'l Boone Region of the Antique Car Club of America. She was always more than willing to prepare floral arrangements for club functions, prepare food for picnics and covered dish events and even hosted a car meet in her back yard. She became a good friend and had a way of perking you up if you were down that day. My memories of good times with Bill and Ginny are ones I will treasure throughout my life. Randy Still

Ken and Carolyn Collins moved from the Toronto area in Ontario Canada to our home on Willowbrook Trace. We met Ginny and Bill along with other wonderful neighbours who adopted us and helped make our stay in Kingsport a memory we will never forget.
Ginny was always generous with her delicious meals (and happily shared recipes), her love of gardens, and she taught me all about arranging silk flowers for the Gift Shop at the hospital.
She and Bill were part of The Rowdy Bunch, a group of neighbours who walked down the hill in Willowbrook to pickup our mail, then laughing and chugging all the way, we would make our way back up the hill to sit in the driveway sharing stories and cookies and ice tea.
Ginny was a 'real lady' a loving mother and grandmother, who was always so proud of her children and her grandchildren. Bill was a fine gentleman, and together they were a blessing in our lives.
Thank you Ginny for all you did for us. God Bless You. The Collins'

We enjoyed Virginia and Bill when they would come down off the Trace to walk. She was always very friendly and welcomed us to the neighborhood. So sorry for you loss. Kathy and Johnny Cox
