Ginni (Virginia) May
1937 - 2003
On June 8th, surrounded by her loving family, Ginni passed away after a courageous four-year battle with cancer. Survived by her husband, Gordon, children, Dan, Julie and Traci, and her grandchildren, Zachary, Dylan and Asia.
Ginni was born in Calgary, grew up in Vancouver and met and married Gordon while living in California. In 1967, Ginni, Gordon and their young children moved back to Vancouver, Canada. In 1979, Ginni, Gordon and youngest daughter, Traci took the adventure of a lifetime by sailing their 47 foot ketch, “The Shere Khan” up the inside passage to Alaska. Ginni also played classical guitar and enjoyed knitting and crocheting birthday and Christmas presents for her family.
Retired from her career in banking, Ginni and Gordon retired to the Comox Valley in a home by the sea in Royston. Ginni volunteered for many causes, but her favourites were at West Jet at the Comox Airport and the Comox Valley Therapeutic Gardens. Ginni’s passions included her garden, children and grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be
So He closed His arms
around you
And whispered,
“Come with Me”
You don’t deserve what you
went through
And so He gave you rest
God’s garden most beautiful
He only takes the best
In tears we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away
All our hearts were broken
You fought so hard to stay
But when we saw you sleeping
So peacefully from pain
We would not wish you back
To suffer the pain again.
A Service will be held on Friday, June 13th at 1:00 pm at the Courtenay Cemetery on Mission Hill.
