She immediately began her career with New England Telephone, which would span over 40 years. She rose in the ranks from telephone operator to managerial administration. Virginia never lost friends, she maintained her friendships from elementary school through high school, to her long association with the Telephone Company. The list of her fraternal organizations is remarkable. She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America, the Retired Telephone Workers Association, the Revere Women’s Club, & the Red Hats Society. Her energy & zest for life is legendary. She was a devotee of the Immaculate Conception Parish & a supporter of the Immaculate Conception School. She held many offices within the Immaculate Conception Parish Family & was past president of the Immaculata Guild. She held positions within the Revere Society for Cultural & Historic Preservation. All this was done with dignity and overwhelming zeal. This “Gentle Lady” did indeed live her “Catholic Faith” to the core, i.e., not on her sleeve but in her heart & in her deeds, & always quietly and unassumingly. Her generosity, not only to her loving family & friends, embraced many of the homeless & disenfranchised of society. Many of us will long to receive yet another card or note from “Ginny”… The United States Postal Service & Hallmark Enterprises should observe a day of mourning on behalf of “Ginny’s” passing.

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.
