| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, February 9, 2006 Virginia "Ginny" Askerman died Feb. 6, 2006, at Yavapai Regional Medical Center, Prescott, Ariz. She was born Sept. 4, 1937, in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Harry and Esther (Dahl) Bagby. Virginia was 68 years old. Virginia and Doug moved to Prescott on Oct. 1, 2003, from Anchorage, Alaska. Ginny was very active in community affairs while living in Alaska. She was a member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church and volunteered in her children's schools, for food banks, and for League of Women Voters. She was a member of Prescott United Methodist Church, OSHER Life Long Learning Institute at Yavapai College and volunteered with the Heritage Nature Center. She enjoyed time with people, especially her family, downhill skiing, her morning tea and watching birds. She saw the best in everyone and brought out those good qualities. After 44 years of living in Alaska, you could not go to a public place without running into a person who knew and liked Ginny. She cared about people and had a sense of justice, yet never said an unkind word about anyone. Every day she lived a chapter out of the content of her character and touched many with it. Ginny is survived by her husband, Douglas; children, Christopher (Naomi) Flint of Lafayette, Colo., Bryan Flint of Tacoma, Wash., and Kevin Flint of Los Angeles, Calif.; sister Barbara (Robert) Schnabel of Grasonville, Md.; and grandchildren, Maya, Stefanie and Evan. A Celebration of Virginia's Life will take place at noon on Friday, Feb. 10, at Prescott United Methodist Church, 505 W. Gurley St., with visitation one hour prior. Family suggests memorials in Virginia's name to Yavapai Food Bank, 8400 E. Spouse Drive, Prescott Valley, Ariz., 86314. Ginny was very concerned that we were always capable of having a good meal and knowing where the next one was coming from, while there were others so much less fortunate that were going hungry — especially the children. Or - to Friends of the Prescott Library, 215 E. Goodwin, Prescott, Ariz., 86301. Arizona Ruffner Wakelin Funeral Home meeting is meeting the needs of the family. Information provided by survivors.
