She was preceded in death by her brother Ronnie Lee Jahnigen, brother-in-law John Luth and her step father Clem Jahnigen.
     Ginny was dropped at birth, which broke her spine at the base of her neck. She was paralyzed from the waist down and never walked. She was in a wheelchair her whole life.
     After her grandparents passed away she began working doing alterations for the Mens Shop in Celina for five years. She then started babysitting for 20 years and provided childcare to over 175 children. She was employed by the Mercer County Farm Services until she became Ill. Ginny then created her own business called Ginny's Spinning Wheels, specializing in cakes, catering and silk flower arrangements for weddings, graduations, anniversaries, prom and all occasions. Her business grew into making wedding veils, jewelry, candy, cookies, pies, noodles and sewing, all done from her wheelchair. Ginny was raised to be a hard worker and not to be "handicapped". She eventually learned to drive. Her grandparents inspired her and encouraged her to live life to the fullest. Their support gave her the courage and understanding, that she could do anything she set her mind to and that was the life Ginny lived. She was a member of the St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Celina.
