A 1951 graduate of Findlay High School, Ginny was an accomplished professional. She worked for six years at Marathon Oil Company, 16 years at RCA, and 16 years with National Lime & Stone as Assistant Director of Purchasing. Ginny served her community as a member of Findlay City Council for over five years, including a term as president.
