Born and raised in Camden, Ginny was a 69 year resident of Franklinville before moving to an independent living community in Washington Township 6 years ago. She met Bud after venturing from Camden down to the Franklinville Skating Rink where he was working, and they married shortly thereafter. Along with her husband, Ginny was owner and operator of the Hessian Clock Shop in Franklinville for 45 years. She was a devoted member of the Nativity Parish for 59 years attending daily masses and active with the Nativity Altar and Rosary Society. Ginny was instrumental in getting the Saint Rose School built and later active with the PTA. She loved bingo and her casino trips. Together with Bud, she traveled a lot throughout the years attending the USPS Conventions with his work and going on numerous cruises. Thanksgiving was the family’s favorite holiday with the best part being Granny’s delicious turkey!
