Virginia (Ginny) Just
1937-2021
Ginny passed away unexpectedly on March 17, 2021, at St. Mary's Medical Center.
Ginny was born in Kenmore, New York. She attended Cleveland Hill High School in Buffalo, N.Y., Cortland State Teacher's College, majoring in Education, and received her Master's Degree in Education at Eastern Washington University.
While attending Geneseo State, Ginny married her sweetheart, Joseph Just, on August 25, 1958. God blessed Ginny and Joe with four children: Mary J. (Randy) Hutsell, Joseph A. (Rexanne) Just, James C. (Polly) Just, and Jason D. (Stacy) Just; grandchildren: Katie, Miranda, Seth, Eli, Meg, Kate, Aubree, Logan and David; and great-grandchildren: Declan, Farrah, Haiden and Piper.
Ginny was a devout Catholic and became a Franciscan Nun. Ginny enjoyed music, genealogy, cross stitch and knitting "Prayer Shawls". Ginny enjoyed spending time on the water fishing with Joe and catching the "flying fish".
Ginny's love of her life was her friend, partner and guide, Joe. Their love of nature included feeding squirrel "Sammies" and counting visits of hummingbirds coming to their multiple feeders. There was not a day of her life that she didn't thank God for having put Joe in hers. Ginny and Joe decided to have engraved on their cemetery plot's stone "Holding Hands Forever".
The funeral will be at St. Mark Catholic Church, Waitsburg, Wash., on April 10, 2021, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Ginny would prefer contributions be made to Birthright of Walla Walla.
