As a child she loved living in Japan. As an adult, she worked at Texas Eastern in Houston before taking a fateful girls trip to Las Vegas where she met her future husband Jerry. They traveled back to Vegas often and loved to play cards with friends over the years.
She was an avid camper. Mostly camping in Florida, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
She loved her FSU and LSU teams and watched them every opportunity she got. She even attended an LSU game with friends a few years back.
She enjoyed having large parties for friends and family at the holidays and making her favorite ‘thumbprint cookies.’
She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Ginny was predeceased in death by her parents and her husband.
She is survived by her brother Phil Wessel (Barbara), a stepmother who she loved like a mother, Bernice Wessel, and children, Courtney Williams (Hal), Harrison Hardy (Chantelle), Lori Kinstle (Mike), Jerry Hardy (Mavis), Yvonne Faye (Kevin), and Mary Jean Corsini. She leaves behind 9 grandchildren, Carrie Pappas, Jerry Hardy, Andrew Eddinger, Vince Eddinger, Sammi Corsini, Jessi Corsini, Tony Corsini, Waylon Williams, and Dolly Williams, and 10 great-grandchildren, Jeff Needham, Garrett Needham, Emma Hardy, Evan Hardy, Easton Hardy, Andi Eddinger, Louis Pappas, Asher Eddinger, Topou Joseph, and Gianna Joseph.
Information on the memorial service will be forthcoming.
In lieu of flowers, we request donations to her favorite charity, the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

I am so sad to hear Ginny is gone from us here. But she was so full of life and love for her family and friends, I know her spirit will live on through us all. I also know we will get to be with her again in heaven because she was not ashamed of her faith in Christ and love for God❣️

I was so sorry to hear about Ginny and she is in my prayers as is the whole family. I was married to another cousin of Ginny, Jim Reiter, son of Omer and Clara. Although I never got to meet Ginny, I feel I knew her through Facebook. Her love of family and life showed in the pictures she posted.

I was 11 when my parents drove us to see aunt Edith and uncle Elmer. I heard them talk about their wonderful daughter Ginny. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago when we connected again as cousins on Facebook and started talking about getting everyone together in Florida.
every day we talked back-and-forth on Facebook, I loved her sense of humor and her love for her family and her faith in God
Rest in peace 🙏🥰🥰

Ginny will be loved and will stay in my heart forever. She was like a mother to me but way too young for that. She had a glow about her that always made you feel better once you had either spoken or interacted with her. She was so kind to me always and helped me purchase my very first home ” The Hardy Mansion” She helped me transition into such a property with the flare only Ginny could provide. Along the way I found life long friends in Courtney and Harrison and I’m so blessed that I have been able to watch them grow and achieve as they have. She did so many things perfectly and those two are perfect examples.
You always think there is so much time to do things but in the end their never is enough. I had interacted quite a bit with Ginny over the past few years but hadn’t seen her as I had planned. I will forever wish I had cleared my schedule to see her more. I will forever Love you young lady and appreciate the many conversations with amazing advice you have given me over the years. Rest In Peace and Thank-you for making me a better me.
