Virginia "Ginny" Ann Quinn, 86, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona passed away
peacefully in her home on October 25, 2023. Loved ones living locally
and as far as New York were with her during her last days. Ginny was
born on August 20, 1937, in Nassau County, New York to Francis and Helen
O'Neill. She attended Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park, NY. After
graduating, she worked at the New York Foundling hospital in the
pediatric ward.

Ginny married her sweetheart, George M Quinn on November 22, 1956. They
were blessed with seven children, twenty- six grandchildren, twenty-
three great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. Ginny's
priority was loving her husband and growing family. Sons: Frank, Tom,
Dan (wife Theresa), and George (wife Pam). Daughters: Carolyn, Elise
(husband Dave/Ropati), Joanne (husband Alec), and all their children.

Ginny moved to Lake Havasu, Arizona in June 1977. She and her husband
George relocated from Copiague NY to the Arizona desert with their seven
children. They opened an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips restaurant
next to the London Bridge Village. Ginny loved living in Lake Havasu.
Unfortunately, the population of Havasu was not big enough to support
the restaurant in 1977, so the family went back to Long Island in 1980.

Ginny and George worked hard to move back to Havasu in 1987. Ginny
worked at TG & Y and loved meeting all the customers. Ginny had a quick
wit, a great sense of humor, enjoyed getting out to talk with people,
and loved old school country music.

Ginny's sweetheart, George, passed on September 10, 2010. Ginny missed
George so much. It must have been a joyous reunion when Ginny passed.
Ginny also reunited with her father Francis, mother Helen, sister Helen,
brothers Richard and Frank, granddaughter Kylie, and her daughter-in-law
Theresa Quinn (Dan's wife).

A Celebration of Life honoring the memory of Ginny Quinn will be at Jack
Hardie Park on January 20, 2024 @ 11:00. In lieu of flowers, memorial
contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
