Hennessey, Sr., who died on July 7th, 1995.  She is the Devoted mother of: Marie A. Hennessey of Revere, David J. Hennessey & his wife, Dr. Francine M. Hennessey, M.D., of Bedford, MA, & Mark F. Hennessey & his wife, Maureen B., of Melrose, MA.   She is the Cherished Grandmother of: Daniel P., Timothy J., Theresa V.S. Hennessey all of Bedford, & Kevin J., Ryan D., Brendan D. & Erin B. Hennessey all of Melrose, MA.  She is the Dear Sister of: Sister Agnes Virginia Manning, S.C.H. of Wellesley, MA & the late: James F., Jr., John, & Leo Manning.  She is also the Loving Sister-in-law of: Rita Hennessey-Theriault & William Kelley, both of Woburn, Leona Dolan of Holliston, Eileen Hennessey of Arlington, Mary Manning of Braintree, & Ruth Hennessey of Belleville, Ohio.  She was also a most loving Aunt to 34.  On October 15, 2006, Virginia’s family & friends organized an outstanding event in her honor with over 350 people in attendance & presented her with a Lifetime Humanitarian Achievement Award, a testimony to this unique and exemplary woman.  About ten years ago, “Ginny” became a fund-raiser & patron of the Histiocytosis Association when her Grandson, Brendan, became afflicted with this disease.  In tribute to her & for the cure of this insidious disease, the family asks that rather than flowers, remembrances be made to the Histiocytosis Association, 332 North Broadway, Pitman, New Jersey 08071.
